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.
