Alma Llanera

Alma Llanera is a classical guitar album by Anabel Montesinos, released by GuitarCoop, dedicated to Latin American music for solo guitar. Internationally acclaimed, Montesinos delivers performances marked by refined technique, rhythmic clarity, and a rich, expressive tone.

The album features landmark works of the Latin American classical guitar repertoire, with a strong presence of Agustín Barrios, one of the most influential composer-guitarists in the instrument’s history. Venezuelan music is represented by iconic pieces such as Alma Llanera by Pedro Elías Gutiérrez and El Marabino by Antonio Lauro, alongside works by Rodrigo Riera and Benito Canónico.

From Argentina, the program includes Balada para Martín Fierro by Ariel Ramírez and Invierno Porteño by Astor Piazzolla, in the well-known guitar arrangement by Sergio Assad. Mexican repertoire appears through Manuel Ponce and his Tres Canciones Populares Mexicanas.

Brazilian classical guitar plays a central role in the album, with music by Heitor Villa-Lobos, Dilermando Reis, Marco Pereira, Guinga, Paulo Bellinati, and Sergio Assad, offering a broad and expressive overview of Brazilian guitar music.

An essential recording for listeners interested in classical guitar, Latin American repertoire, and high-quality guitar recordings.
