A musical journey across the Americas — from South to North, from the concert hall to living tradition.
Released by GuitarCoop in 2018, Americas is more than an album — it is a cultural bridge. Inspired by the spirit of the Pan American Games, Fabio Zanon transforms diversity into sound, bringing together composers and traditions that reflect the artistic soul of an entire continent.
Each piece tells a story. From the symphonic nationalism of Manuel Ponce, Eduardo Fabini, and Eduardo Caba, to the unmistakable national voices of guitarist-composers such as Antonio Lauro and Agustín Barrios, this album uncovers a repertoire that deserves to be heard far beyond its borders.
Emotional tributes include music connected to Carlos Gardel, the poetic charm of Sindo Garay, the monumental presence of Frantz Casséus, and the lyrical elegance of Frederic Hand.
With masterful interpretation, refined tone, and artistic depth, Americas is an essential recording for:
🎸Classical guitar enthusiasts
💿Collectors seeking distinctive repertoire
🎼Listeners eager to explore the musical identity of the Americas
