Week 4: From Cardoso to Carlevaro!
Greetings, everyone! We are thrilled to welcome you all to the Latin American Music Challenge!
In this exciting journey, we'll be immersing ourselves in the richly diverse and vibrant world of Latin American music, a world that's deeply interconnected with our beloved instrument
This challenge presents an opportunity to not only enhance our skills but also to appreciate the cultural richness and musical complexity that Latin American melodies bring. From the passionate rhythms of salsa to the poignant strains of the tango, we'll explore it all!
Please remember, we have an extensive category in our library dedicated to Latin American Repertoire. This library is a treasure trove of courses designed to provide deep insights and technical knowledge about various aspects of Latin American music. Make sure to make the most of it!

Brouwer Tres Apuntes (menos uno) II and I - closer
I have an almost decent recording of the first 2 of Tres Apuntes, however I have reversed their order because I felt it would be better to conclude with the more dramatic first one.
I am having my typical difficulty unmaking a decent recording. Trying to record both pieces just further compounds the difficulties. I feel both are close but each has a couple of glaring stumbles at points that I really like.
I might be able to try one more time but my wife and I leave for Pittsburgh and Buffalo on Saturday morning so I don't k now if I will actually try.

Following the last few emotional weeks since my father's death, I needed motivation and inspiration to slowly get back to the guitar... so yesterday, Master Vedral published a page of beautiful music that simply gave me the boost... I'm sorry if the choice is not a perfect fit for this challenge but I hope you'll enjoy it somehow.
