Berta Rojas, Paraguayan Guitarist | HumanArts

October 7, 2026, 7:00 PM, TFAC Curtis Performance Hall

In association with National Hispanic Heritage Month, Latin American Grammy-winning guitarist Berta Rojas will discuss her recent project and publication, La Huella de las Cuerdas (The Journey of Strings). Presented across various formats—vinyl, streaming, videos, and book with innovative augmented reality—it traces the intriguing story of how the guitars and vihuelas brought to Latin America by the conquistadors influenced the continent’s cultures and traditions and in turn was itself transformed, giving rise to unique instruments that voice the soul of the region’s people and their identities. Fellow author and guitarist Mark Small will mediate the discussion, which will also include live performance.
