【簡介】葉宗翰John T Yeh…來自巴西的音樂家。
1969年出生在台灣，父親是牧師，在教會裡長大，從小就跟著母親學琴看譜。6歲時全家移民巴西聖保羅宣教，7歲時在華裔音樂家Suzana 梁門下正式學習樂理及彈琴技巧，從此打下深厚的音樂基礎。1983年就考進入巴西里國家音樂學院，在校表現優異，學有所成。

巴西是個浪漫、熱情的國家，生活周遭充滿了音樂與舞蹈。為了方便即時的表演環境，John T Yeh苦練吉他，也將吉他彈的出神入化，受到許多巴西音樂界的重視..

2000年因父親轉到美國宣教，John T Yeh 也陪同前往。他開始拿把吉他，在美國各處餐廳、酒吧、夜總會表演。他將美國的爵士、靈魂、藍調..整合到巴西的音樂巴薩諾瓦裡，讓他的演奏具有特色。巴薩諾瓦（Bossa Nova）是一種融合巴西森巴舞曲和美國酷派爵士的「新派爵士樂」，乍聽簡潔輕快，但結構複雜，樂器的音階或和絃轉換的行進方式變幻莫測。這讓他的表演越來越受歡迎，常受邀前往英國、歐洲諸國、甚至中國大陸去表演。

2018年老父親退休返台定居。John T Yeh 事親至孝，也決定回台灣。同時可以將他數十年在巴西、美國所學的美好音樂，回到自己的故鄉散播與分享。希望這次返台，能讓巴西音樂….豐富台灣的音樂文化。
