Classical guitar 
By Sergio Huerta

Juan Ramón Arceo was born in Guadalajara and started studying guitar at the age of seven. He played his first concert at age 15 at the Higinio Ruvalcaba hall in Guadalajara. In 1999, he began study at the Universidad de Guadalajara Music School and over the next several years played in the Contemporary Guitar Quartet, the “Catarsis” Guitar Dúo, Diplomado de Guitarra in Tijuana and Concurso Nacional de Ensamble de Guitarra in Mexico City. In 2007, he finished the Diplom-Musiker in the Folkwang Musik Hochschule (Superior School of Music) in Essen, Germany. He plays in Mexico, Germany and Spain, and now lives in Barcelona. 

Folklore harp and flamenco guitar 

Sergio Basurto moves his fingers over the strings of his guitar in gestures so natural they’re virtually unconscious. In beginning an Argentine milonga, his instrument is part of him, an extension of his body. A delicate throbbing figure produced by the fingers on one string at time while the thumb plucks the melody gives a haunting air to a piece of romantic enchantment. And then he sets his guitar aside and takes the harp into his arms for the bright sounds of folk songs from Paraguay, Venezuela and Mexico. 
Sergio takes up the guitar again to return to Spain, gypsy soul and flamenco roots. The rhythm builds to a crescendo and listeners shout “Ole.”

Gypsy music night

Guitarist Javier Estrada sings and plays Noche de fiesta gitana, the enchanting music from the south. His light touch across the strings and the melodies of the gypsies set an intimate mood. 

These outstanding concerts are part of the Biblioteca Pública’s cultural program. Tickets for Biblioteca concerts are available at the theater box office. For concerts at 7pm or after, enter through the Café Santa Ana entrance at Reloj 50A. Seating is limited for Sala Quetzal events.
