La Guitara

It is a glimpse of how women have influenced the guitar over time. An aural image in the feminine form. The women on this compilation are innovators and educators, alt types and concert hall performers, jazzers, blues players, composers and interpreters. They have been around for a long time, they just broke onto the scene, they are our archetypes and our future heroines. They are only the tip of the iceberg. To say that our research led us to hundreds of women players of the instrument would not… Show more be an exaggeration. We had the unenviable task of selecting from talent too numerous to mention, but too amazing to overlook. We ended up choosing the music and the stories and the history for what we now consider to be the first installment of La Guitara. Rather than marginalizing women guitar players or creating a circus oddity, our goal is to expose some of the most prodigious guitar talent that happens to also be female. As we began to research women and the guitar and the history of the instrument, we made a decision to create a collection of women instrumentalists from many different musical styles, and from many places around the world, including archival selections, to tell the story.
