Agustín Barrios-Mangoré
May 23, 1885 - August 7, 1944
born in San Bautista de las Misiones, composed during the Modern period
born in San Bautista de las Misiones, composed during the Modern period
After receiving his training from Gustavo Sosa Escalada, Barrios left Paraguay for one week of concerts in Argentina. He was so successful that he toured for 14 years. In 1934 he went to Europe to perform, becoming the first Latin-American guitarist of stature to do so. His performances have been compared to Segovia for their interpretation and to Paganini for their virtuosity. Barrios composed over 100 works, many of which he attributed to obscure early composers in the hope that this would allow them to be regarded seriously. Some of his pieces are now in the repertory (=Danza paraguaya= and =El catedral=) and many more would be, if not for his carelessness in publishing them. He was the first classical guitarist to make a gramophone recording. ~ Lynn Vought, Rovi

Comments
He deserves the attention from all the nations that his music( genius deeds) reached.In my opinion, He died young because he reached his goals(best composer of all times, first guitarist to record guitar music ever, traveled around the world, infinite recognition) . We all expect to see a documentary or movie exposing the uniqueness of his life.
My opinion is simply "he was amazing at what he did".
