José Mª "María" Lastras (also known as VocaloidMaster Giuseppe) was a Spanish producer, professional musician, and music teacher known for his usage of the VOCALOID software.
Most of his works consisted of cover songs. He was quite skilled in using VOCALOIDs to sing in languages they were not made for, being quite known by the VOCALOID community for this and for the quality of his songs. His collection of songs ranges from English, Spanish, Italian, etc.
He collaborated with the western companies in various occasions, doing the official demos for companies as Zero-G and participating in the development of Spanish voicebanks for VOCALOID3 in collaboration with Voctro Labs.
In 2016, his involvement with Lucía and LUAN led to his permanent withdrawal from any further VOCALOID-related development.
Giuseppe passed away sometime in 2020. This was confirmed by one of his friends, Rafael, in the comment section of a video posted by his former colleague in the VOCALOID community, BlancaNegra.[1]

I know you collaborated on VOCALOID works, and I was with him when he did so, watching his skill and the enthusiasm with which he worked with you. Although you both distanced yourselves due to the general lack of interest in synthetic voices, I also know that you held mutual respect for each other. I just want to inform you that José is no longer with us. I thought you would want to know, and I don't know another way to reach out... a big hug. Rafael." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPB31hr7F4I&lc=UgxPAbHJWSg4zfy5ehZ4AaABAg
