He was born in Timote, in the heart of this infinite green plain wich is La Pampa argentina. It was there where, in the calmness of the late afternoon, I heard some distant sounds which captivated me; It was the sound of the guitar of a gaucho which preluded a milonga. From that day onwards i would wait for that magic moment at sunset in which someone would, once again, wound those strings. I wished nothing else than to have in my possession those arpeggios which shook me from inside, But I didn´t own any instruments until the day that my parents realised that my favourite game was caressing the strings of a borrowed guitar.
And so it happened...they brought me nearer to that wooden bridge that would take me to the world of music.
I walked along lonely roads discovering what had already been discovered, until one day I directed my efforts towards the course of classical music, in which I finished my studies as a Senior teacher in classical guitars at Universidad Nacional de Rosario.
I had excellent teachers, not only in the academic field, but also in the people, my friends, popular musicians, and the bandoneón of Domingo, my father.
I was awarded at four international interpretation contests ; and i must confess that this really helped me during the first few measures of my career to temper the seventh string…
Very soon afterwards i was granted two scholarships which allowed me to put these enriching and stimulating experiences to good use: The courses of Abel Carlevaro in Brazil and Andrés Segovia in Spain, respectively. Then towards the end of the second course I settled in Madrid.
From that moment on they increased the concert schedule and at the same time i was able to dedicate more time to transcripts, composition of arrangements and a much postponed project : An orchestra of guitars.
This is where I met a very talented group of pupils which were sensitive to the idea.
A few years later these pupils became professionals and the project, which was paciently kneading, took final shape in the Guitar Orchestra of Dionisio Aguado.
I started and continue working in the production of classical composers, giving concerts and guiding novice musicians through this directory, but i have always reserved a special place for Latin-American music, not only because of what it means to me, but what it means to the guitar world, and even further beyond.
