Folklore music is the sustenance of Latin America, vast as its borders, its climates and its diverse peoples. The identity of Latin America changes without forgetting its roots, thanks in particular to musicians like Berta Rojas and Quique Sinesi, who draw upon the essence of the identities of their countries, Paraguay and Argentina, to honor and remember their cultural roots in the strings of the guitar.
