Alachua Guitar Quartet - Libertango

The Alachua Guitar Quartet AGQ performing LIBERTANGO (Astor Piazzolla) and arranged by Ulisses Rocha. The AGQ provides a unique interpretation of Brazilian and Latin American music through performances of popular and classical musical forms and adaptation of diverse musical genres. Exploring the wealth of Brazilian music throughout its historical development and cultural contexts, the Alachua Guitar Quartet illustrates the variety and vitality of music practiced in several regions in Brazil. As one of the most vital musical instruments in the development of music in Brazil, the classical guitar is an ideal instrument to perform European-derived genres such as the gavotte, mazurka, and waltz and the uniquely Brazilian genres of samba, bossa-nova, choro, baião, and maxixe.
