To draw the attention of the public to Brahma Valley Festival and pay homage to the roots of our music, first we created three posters with different elements of Brazilian country music, and then we printed parts of these posters in special wood sheets. After that we delivered the sheets to a traditional Luthier who transformed 200 posters into 100 country guitars.
