The concert begins with Johann Sebastian Bach's Chaconne. A 15-minute meditation on a four-bar chord tour. At some point, the key changes to major and then returns to minor.
Villa-Lobos's five preludes are a tribute to humanity. A declaration of love for the folklore of his native Brazil and for the mix of people and art that the country embraces.
Antonio Lauro from Venezuela was the son of an Italian immigrant. A great inspiration for him was Barrios Mangoré. Lauro was inspired by the Venezuelan musical tradition.
Agustin Barrios Mangoré from Paraguay described through his music the love for what he came from. As a child of a mixed marriage (Spanish and native), it was important for him to connect with both sides of his identity.
