Guitar Music from South America
South American music has its own charm and magic, and the opportunity to hear and enjoy it live is what we present to you on the 7th evening. Gyaan Adab invites you to a captivating evening of music and melody from a melting pot of diverse cultures. It was in South America that classical music and European folk roots created a variety of musical forms and styles, and the classical guitar is the most natural expression of the same.

Veet J Ohnemus will take us on an exploration of Argentinian and Brazilian guitar music from the 20th century. We start our journey with Cardoso’s Milonga (a popular musical genre originating in the 1870’s) and continue our travels with one of the most regarded songs in Argentinian folk music Alfonsina y el Mar by Ramirez, dedicated to poetess Alfonsina Storni.
As we travel north to Brazil, the Valseana by Sergio Assad, one of the most respected contemporary guitar composers, is a modern interpretation of the valse or waltz. We continue our journey into Brazilian music with beautiful songs and rhythms by the Brazilian singer/guitarist Toquinho, the great brazilian composer Antonio Carlos Jobim, Paulo Bellinati and Egberto Gismonti.
