Agustin Barrios was born and raised in rural Paraguay, far from the world's artistic capitals, and brought up on folk music. He identified more strongly with the Guarani Indians of his home than the European culture of Spain's former colonies, and faced many rejections, personal and professional. Yet through hundreds of concerts and innovative new compositions, he captured the soul of Latin America to become the most important guitar composer of the 20th century.
