Does music soothe your soul? On Monday, Dec. 7, at 6:30 p.m. we can look forward to "The Guitar in Latin America: Continuities, Changes and Bicultural Strumming," a virtual program made possible by the New Hampshire Humanities and the Conway Public Library.

Jose Lezcano presents a multimedia musical program that showcases the guitar in Latin America as an instrument that speaks many languages. Lezcano presents a variety of musical styles: indigenous strummers in ritual festivals from Ecuador, Gaucho music from Argentina, European parlor waltzes from Venezuela, and Afro-Brazilian samba-pagode. He also plays pieces by Villa-Lobos, Brouwer, Lauro, Barrios, Pereira and examples from his Fulbright-funded research in Ecuador.
