Guitarist Gustavo Pazos - Uruguyan folk music

Like a soccer player grows up with the ball at his feet, musician Gustavo Pazos grows up with the guitar under his arm. "I come from a strong guitar tradition," says Pazos, who was born in Uruguay in 1960. "Our folk music is based on the guitar. My dad played guitar, half the neighborhood played guitar. Just as you find flamenco in Spain, so you find the guitar in Uruguay."


Uruguay: emptiness, thinness, vast fields



Storyteller

He plays his own compositions based on Uruguyan folk music, steeped in South American rhythms and melancholic melodies. Pazos sings of the black earth, the merry moon and about Caraguatá, the region in Uruguay that was named to the thistle that covers the fields and where the emptiness and stillness make the determine life
