This season’s lineup features a celebrated Vietnamese guitarist Thu Le, the fiery rhythms of Brazilian virtuoso Lucas Imbiriba, the mind-blowing fingerstyle innovation of Russian sensation Alexandr Misko, and, for the first time ever, the genre-defying power of ukulele superstar Taimane from Hawaii. Blending a variety of styles—classical, flamenco, rock, folk, and more—these world-class musicians unite for an unforgettable showcase of international talent, technical brilliance, and musical storytelling.

Thu Le (Vietnam) – A celebrated Vietnamese guitarist whose performances combine exceptional
technical command with lyrical expression. A graduate of prestigious European conservatories,
she bridges Eastern and Western traditions through a distinctive voice on the classical guitar,
earning acclaim on international stages.

 Alexandr Misko (Russia) – This modern fingerstyle prodigy bridges tradition and innovation with viral hits and performances at Carnegie Hall. Known for his custom “Frankenstein Guitar,” Misko’s technique is as inventive as his compositions, attracting nearly 900k followers  

 Taimane (Hawaii) – The first-ever ukulele artist in IGN history, Taimane shatters expectations with her fierce, theatrical performances. A four-time Nā Hōkū Hanohano awardee, she blends Bach, Led Zeppelin, flamenco, and tribal hymns into powerful shows that have amassed over 50 million video views.
