Brazilian guitarist Fabio Zanon Plays Balada para Martin Fierro (Aire Sureño) by Argentine composer Ariel Ramirez (1921–2010). This comes from the amazing GuitarCoop and their fantastic YouTube Channel. On this GuitarCoop page Zanon says of this work: “I first heard the Balada by Ariel Ramírez, soundtrack of the movie Martín Fierro, in an informal recording of the Argentine teacher Monina Távora; here is the homage to a unique way of playing one cannot reproduce today. This could also be said in honour of virtuoso Alírio Diaz, who died in 2016, a gentleman who was the engine of Venezuelan guitar in the last century.”
