Anyway, here they are again, wowing Japan this time around. Triple Fret, won the first prize at the 26th Japan guitar ensemble festival on June 28 at the Kyurian Hall in Shinagawa, Tokyo.

But that’s not all. The ladies also won — take a deep breath — the Japan Guitar Association Award, the Kohno Guitar Award, and the Harumi Award for Best performance of an original contemporary composition for guitar ensemble.

Triple Fret “is the only all-female guitar trio of its kind in the country, the “Triple Fret” stands out with its extensive repertoire of Spanish guitar pieces, tangos, jazz standards, Filipino traditional music, and classical pieces, all infused with a style uniquely their own,” according to a press relase from the Philippine Embassy in Tokyo.
