Guido Miyoshi and Yoko Abe were two Brazilian youths from Japanese extraction who recorded rock'n'roll at its inception in Brazil circa 1958.

At the turn of the century - circa 1900 there was a concerted effort of the Japanese government to promote migration of an ever increasing Japanese population to all parts of the world but especially to South America. Brazil and Peru were the preferred destinations. Japanese nationals started arriving in Brazil in 1908. They came in droves soon numbering hundreds of thousands.

Japanese families settled mainly in the states of Sao Paulo and Parana, but there were a few thousands going to Para, Rio de Janeiro and other states. Due to the language barrier adults hardly ever mixed with Brazilians but their children started mingling and assimilating the local culture and by 1958, we had some children of Japanese parents who could not only sing samba but rock'n'roll.
