Two Articles about Francisco González, and Ramiro Isaza Colombian guitarists

During the last years I have been immersed in the research of the guitarists that have outlined the history of the guitar in Colombia. Some of them have been Ramiro Isaza founder of the guitar program at the Nationale University of Colombia, and Francisco González, a guitarist and composer who emigrated first to Mexico and then to France from where he has been one of the leading figures of Colombian and Latin American culture and music.

FInd the history of these two artists in the following links:

Some other nice activities of first semester: write about Liszt for Strings By Mail blog and go to the zarzuela

To conmemorate musical anniversaries of this year I wrote some articles on West Montgomery, Bach and Liszt. This taught me wonderful things about them. It is possible to access these articles by visiting Strings By Mail blog.

At last, I had some spared time and went to the zarzuela season of Arte Lírico. We enjoyed The Merry widow and La Rosa del Azafrán under the conduction of Luis Fernando Pérez. Awesome experience!

We heard music by José Luis Merlin, Jean Paul David, Kevin Cope, among others! They played wonderfully and the audience was very pleased with their rendition.
