00:01.333 --> 00:03.333 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
Before I show you around
I want to show you this guitar.

00:03.933 --> 00:06.066 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
It's a copy from
a Barrios guitar.

00:06.066 --> 00:07.166 align:left position:35% line:89% size:55%
Oh, wow.

00:07.166 --> 00:09.866 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
You were talking to Federico
Shepherd, right?

00:09.866 --> 00:10.266 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
Fred?

00:10.500 --> 00:11.600 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5%
Yeah. Yeah.

00:11.600 --> 00:13.133 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
So he made this guitar.

00:13.133 --> 00:14.466 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
No kidding.
- Yeah.

00:14.466 --> 00:18.766 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
And he made a copy of the first
good guitar Barrios had.

00:19.266 --> 00:24.333 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
So this is a copy of Ramirez
from 1911.

00:24.666 --> 00:29.266 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
He makes sure all the details
are close to the original

00:29.266 --> 00:33.966 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
guitar - the mother of pearl
and the sound of it.

00:33.966 --> 00:34.700 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5%
Beautiful.

00:34.900 --> 00:37.700 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
So this guitar
has a funny story.

00:37.966 --> 00:40.833 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
When Barrios was traveling
in a car,

00:40.833 --> 00:44.566 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
they had an accident, and
the car went down on a river.

00:44.933 --> 00:47.933 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
So the guitar sunk
inside the car

00:48.366 --> 00:51.700 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
and Barrios dove into to the
river and rescued the guitar.

00:52.333 --> 00:55.266 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
But it won't sound good anymore.
- Of course.

00:55.266 --> 00:58.466 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5%
So Shepherd made this copy

00:58.900 --> 01:01.966 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
to restore
the sound of the guitar.

01:02.166 --> 01:04.100 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
Okay.
- So now we can hear it.

01:04.100 --> 01:04.966 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
All right, let's hear it.

01:06.033 --> 01:07.933 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
So, Scott,
I wanted to bring you here

01:07.933 --> 01:11.700 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
because Barrios
played on this stage in 1929.

01:11.700 --> 01:12.633 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5%
Incredible.

01:12.833 --> 01:15.266 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
Now we have our orchestra
rehearsing there.

01:15.266 --> 01:18.033 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
So we'll be here
on the entrance hall

01:18.033 --> 01:20.866 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
that is just beautiful
as the main hall.

01:20.866 --> 01:23.733 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
So he started as a folk musician

01:23.733 --> 01:26.300 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
learning
folk tunes from his father.

01:26.300 --> 01:29.733 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
And then one guy called
Gustavo Sosa Escalada

01:29.733 --> 01:32.733 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
saw the young boy
and became his tutor,

01:33.166 --> 01:36.400 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
Gustavo Sosa Escalada
was very well connected

01:36.600 --> 01:38.633 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
with the Spanish guitar
repertoire.

01:38.633 --> 01:41.000 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
And he start introducing
these to Barrios.

01:41.000 --> 01:44.133 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
- Okay,
The first one, it's Aguado.

You can really hear
that Barrios is kind

03:17.200 --> 03:20.333 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
of part of the evolution
of all of those composers.

03:20.333 --> 03:21.133 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5%
I think so.

03:21.133 --> 03:22.766 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5%
It's like a football game,

03:22.766 --> 03:26.100 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
one player sending them
the ball to the next one.

03:26.600 --> 03:29.666 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
So this Spanish music,
this was like the foundation

03:29.900 --> 03:31.500 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
for Barrios.
- Yeah.

03:31.500 --> 03:34.466 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
But he grew up to
to connecting himself

03:34.466 --> 03:38.666 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
to many othe
kinds of music styles and so on.

03:39.200 --> 03:42.200 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
So if he had not traveled
to anywhere else,

03:42.400 --> 03:44.666 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
he probably would have stayed
a Spanish composer.

03:44.666 --> 03:45.700 align:left position:35% line:89% size:55%
Probably.

03:45.700 --> 03:47.700 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
And in the Paraguayan
folk music. Right.

03:47.700 --> 03:48.733 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Right. It's amazing.
