Porro (Suite Colombiana no2 by Gentil Montana) | played by Thu Le | Classical Guitar

Live recording from the online concert for The Online Music Guild 17th April 2021
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gentíl Montaña, born in Ibagué, southern Colombia, into a musical family, took up the guitar at an early age, performing with his father who played folk-music professionally. In the 1960s, after several years of composing his own songs, Montaña began studying the classical guitar and in 1975 was awarded third prize in the Alirio Díaz Competition in Caracas. From 1976 he visited Europe and lived for a few years in Madrid, but also travelling to Greece. In 1981 he returned to Colombia where he opened a music school under the name of Fundación Gentíl Montaña. His aim, following the years of violence and disorder in his country, was to ‘exchange arms of destruction for musical instruments and develop a true tradition of the guitar in Colombia’.
The porro is a musical style and dance from the Caribbean region of Colombia. It is a Colombian cumbia rhythm that developed into its own subgenre. It was originally a folkloric expression from the Sinú River area that evolved into a ballroom dance. It is played mostly by brass bands or orchestras, and danced in couples. This genre influenced some of the greatest Latin American bands of the 1960s, with songs such as "Pachito E'ché" , "Se va el Caimán", and "Me voy pa'Cataca" to name a few...
I would like to share my passion for classical guitar and inspire you with my music.
Hopefully I can also add value to the community through my channel on KZbin.
Go where the guitar takes you...

Mi respeto y gran admiración para usted y nuevamente gracias

[@michaelmckinney7240]

The more I see Thu Le's videos the more impressive her talent is amply demonstrated. Her skills as a virtuoso are on display in her masterful treatment of the Rondo in A minor Opus Two by Dionisio Aguado, a fiendishly difficult piece. A very different piece is the one here by the composer Gentil Montana, it's rhythmic drive is very demanding on the player but the execution by Thu Le is as close to flawless as is humanly possible. Two major talents are showcased here; the composer and the performer, BRAVO! on both counts. Michael Mckinney

Spectacular playing!!! So expressive it draws the listener in immediately. Like you said in your instructional video, "speed isn't everything." Your speed is amazingly clean and an integral part of the overall piece. Bravo and hooray for another stunning performance by our beloved Thu Le!!! 💖💖💖👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

This piece needs two guitar skills above all - clean notes and perfectly metronomic rhythm. You have them both to spare Thu. I can't help but to dance to Porro while listening to your interpretation... and neither can you. Gentil Montana outdid himself in this Porro. Thank you both, Thu Le.
