"Mangoré" The Movie, Asuncion Premiere August 21st

"Mangoré" The Movie, Asuncion Premiere August 21st

"Mangoré, For the Love of Art", Official Trailer

August 21 2015 is the date marked for the World Premiere of Mangoré, The Movie. I play 2 scenes in the movie with a small group of supporting actors along with the main stars. Working in a movie is one of those events that impress your memory for a lifetime. The picture below shows the actors that participate in the scenes I work in.  To the far left is Mexican actor Damian Alcázar that plays a fabulous rendition of Barrios Mangore throughout the movie. Make up artistry is capable of making Alcázar live over 30 years of Barrios life. In the scene below, Barrios is giving a masterclass to 6 students in San Salvador. All 5 students participating in the scene are my guitar students. Among them is my son Franco (16) second from the right. We play the role of 6 Barrios students taking a simultaneous masterclass lesson with the Paraguayan genius in San Salvador.


The one above is the 1885 Marin guitar that Barrios owned and played in 1918 for the last time. This amazing guitar is in my private guitar collection and was given to me by the person who purchased it from Mangore himself in 1918 after a recital in Luque City, a small neighboring town of Asuncion. I restored the guitar and use it on a regular basis. The instrument is to say the least magical. In the image above I am posing with the Chilean director Luis Vera.
