New Masterclass: Agustin Barrios Mangore, "Ha Che Valle"

I was asked to play Ha Che Valle in one of the 2 scenes of the movie "Mangoré, for the Love of Art" where I play the part of one of 5 Barrios Students and close friends that studied with Barrios in San Salvador. In the scene, we are assisting the Maestro on his death bed. We then walk away from the bed and sit with our guitars to play Jha Che Valle (Oh My Valley) as an homage to our dying Maestro. Barrios founded a guitar academy in San Salvador where he thought until his very last days. I made a beautiful 3 parts-arrangement of the work for the movie but decided to offer an exclusive transcription of my own rendering of this emblematic work of the Paraguayan composer who knew how to elevate the Paraguayan Polka Style to previously unimaginable heights.
