Classical guitarist Antigoni Goni performs Vidalita by Agustin Barrios Mangore (1885-1944). This comes via Siccas Guitars and their YouTube channel (go subscribe). Great to see Goni perform this work after hearing her recording of it way back in 2001. Here’s a bit more info on the work via this Naxos recording by Goni and notes by Rico Stover: “The traditional vidalita is a slow, minor key song form dating from the 18th century and cultivated by the gauchos of the Pampas region of Argentina. Barrios created his Vidalita con variaciones early in his career and recorded it in 1914 in Buenos Aires. This work is typical of Barrios’ early period when he performed in cinemas and theatres as interval entertainment.”
