Juan Falú-Bio


In his dual role as composer and artist, Juan Falú is a cornerstone of Argentinean folk music.
He obtained the prestigious National Music Award in 2000, and has been named "outstanding artist" repeatedly by the music press in Argentina.
His music for guitar recreates the freshness and inventiveness of Argentinean folk rhythms, and many of his songs are already established within the repertoire of the most outstanding Argentinean folk musicians.
As an interpreter, Juan Falu employs his vast knowledge of the different Argentinean folk rhythms, and displays an innate command of the artistry of improvisation. Add to this combination his natural charisma, and you have a recital in which each song is delivered in a unique form. In reference to his improvisational skills, he has received praise from different musicians. The accomplished classical guitarist Eduardo Fernandez has called him "a real time composer."
He has toured Central and South America, Europe, Asia and Africa, and has offered concerts in prestigious halls in more than twenty countries.
Several of his recordings are considered among the best recordings of the year, as noted in the Argentinean and international press that specializes in guitar music. Some of his prolific musical compositions have been edited in Argentina, Belgium, Costa Rica, and France.
Juan Falú remains a vital musical force in his community, where he directs the festival Guitars of the World, considered the largest international event in its genre. He also teaches in the Manuel de Falla Conservatory, in Buenos Aires, where he has created the first curricula for Folklore and Tango.

Carlos Guastavino's Bio

A prominent representative of twentieth century Argentine music, Guastavino is recognized for his unique melodic gift and characteristic charm. Approachable, intriguing, and refreshing, Guastavino's music, which includes songs, piano pieces, chamber music, and orchestral compositions, in many ways celebrates the rich cultural tradition and physical beauty of his country. Guastavino started his musical education with piano lessons. After studying chemical engineering, he was awarded a grant in 1938 to study at the National Conservatory in Buenos Aires. However, he decided against entering the Conservatory, preferring private lessons in piano and composition. In Buenos Aires, Guastavino quickly became known as a composer, his works attracting the attention of Argentine and foreign performers. In 1948, a British Council grant enabled Guastavino to travel to England, where he spent two years, performing his songs and piano compositions. In 1949, the BBC Symphony Orchestra played his Romances argentinos (3). Guastavino's visit to England was followed by trips to several other countries, including China and the Soviet Union. Many of Guastavino's best-known works date from the 1940s, compositions such as Gato (1940), for piano; Canciones argentinas (4) (1949), as well as the immensely popular songs Se equivoco la paloma (1941) and La rosa y el sauce (1942). During the 1960s and 1970s, Guastavino devoted most of his time to composing and teaching. Working with Leon Benaros, a noted Argentine poet, Guastavino composed some 60 songs, which exemplify his fine lyricism and descriptive powers, particularly in songs about nature. In 1975, however, possibly discouraged by his declining popularity, Guastavino stopped composing. Fortunately, he returned to composition in 1987, encouraged by Carlos Vilo, leader of a chamber ensemble, who was interested in performing Guastavino's song and other works. Guastavino's fruitful collaboration with Vilo's group lasted until 1992, when he stopped composing for good. ~ Zoran Minderovic, All Music Guide

muchisimas gracias!

I love it to no end, 5 millions stars. This is one of the most beautiful song of Argentina, and I love Guastavino, but there is no credit for him anywhere, remember, the composer is the most important.
