How did singer Monsanto end up in the band?
Gus found me via an ad on the internet. Gus and I are very close. We share a similar vision. We are the heart and soul of the new album. Did you try on any other singer besides Monsanto? I tired a few singers, but no one that I could mention. Has he been involved any other projects or bands before joining the Takara camp? He was the singer for Adagio and a few other bands from Brazil. Jeff Scott Soto also returns to Takara to sing harmony vocals. Soto sings on a few of Takara’s earlier albums, did you ask Soto if he wanted to take on the role as lead singer again on this new cd? No, I didn’t. I just asked if he didn’t mind putting some harmony vocals on the new album. We had already had Gus. Jeff has his own career, and he is doing wonderfully too. Many fans still talk about Jeff’s early Takara album to me a lot. I can’t blame them. I myself love to hear his voice whenever I can. Have you kept in touch with Soto during the years? I first met Jeff in 1984. We have stayed in contact pret
