JOÃO ROBERTO “COTÔ“ GUARINO JOINS BOSCH COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEMS

A sound engineer for over 20 years, Cotô started at Bandeirantes Radio Network (Sao Paulo, Brazil) as a technician, and acquired vast experience as a recording engineer in major Brazilian studios including Transamérica, Artmix, Cardan, Anonimato, Ritz, Chita and Vibe, recording renowned Brazilian artists including Roberto Carlos, RPM, Milton Nascimento, Zizi Possi, Jorge Benjor, Rita Lee, Capital Inicial, Dominguinhos, and many more.

Two decades as a sound engineer and technical production coordinator have seen Cotô lend his expertise to many events featuring Brazilian and international artists at home and abroad. Eight of these years were spent with rock singer Rita Lee; for the past eighteen months he has been in charge of sound for CPM 22. Among other activities related to sound production, Cotô has been responsible for mixing many radio and TV events in Brazil, including the MTV Video Music Awards, Visa Brazilian Music Awards, Garagem da Mix, and Transamérica Live Studio. Cotô’s work as chief sound engineer on Chico César’s album “De Uns Tempos pra Cá“ earned him a nomination for Best Sound Engineer at the 2006 Latin Grammy Awards.
