“Tupa, the supreme spirit and protector of my people, Found me one day in the middle of a greening forest, Enraptured in the contemplation of Nature, And he told me: Take this mysterious box and reveal its secrets.” Agustín Barrios “Mangoré” (1885-1944)

Although there are various theories about where he was born, it is believed that he was born in a small town called Villa Florida, Paraguay. As a member of the “Orquesta Barrios” (an orchestra founded by his family), he was surrounded by music from an early age. After exploring the violin, flute and harp, he eventually decided to focus on the guitar.
In 1898 he began studying at the Ateneo Paraguayo, where he explored classical works for guitar by great composers such as Francisco Tárrega, Dionisio Aguado and Fernando Sor.
As early as 1908, his concerts, where he played and his brother Francisco Martín Barrios recited poetry, were well known throughout Paraguay. In 1910, he left the country for the first time, and embarked on a tour through Buenos Aires, Uruguay, Chile and Brazil, during which he composed various works, including La Catedral.
In Brazil, in 1932, he introduced himself as “Nitsuga Mangoré, el Paganini de la guitarra de las selvas del Paraguay”, the guitar Paganini from the jungles of Paraguay. “Nitsuga” is his first name backwards, and “Mangoré” from the legendary Guarani chief who died for love.
