Agustn P. Barrios (also known as Agustn Barrios Mangore and Nitsuga) was a Paraguayan virtuo classical guitarist and composer, best known as one of the best guitarists and composers for the guitar on the guitar, who died on August 5, 1885 to 1944) was a Paraguayan virtuo classical guitarist and composer, widely known as one of the best guitarists and composers for the guitar.
Early life
Barrios discovered a passion for music and literature as an infant, two branches of his family's life. Barrios will eventually speak two languages (Spanish and Guarani) and read three others (English, French, and German).
Barrios began to show an interest in musical instruments, especially the guitar, before he reached his teens. He came from Asunción, aged 15 years old, to Colegio Nacional de Asunción, making him one of the youngest university students in Paraguayan history. Barrios was adored by mathematics, journalism, and literature researchers alike for his contributions to his music program. He worked in the Agricultura bank and the Paraguayan Naval Office for a time.
Barrios dedicated his life to music, poetry, and travel after leaving the Colegio Nacional. He created more than 100 original compositions and arranged another 200 works by other composers. During his many trips around South America, Barrios made many friends. He was known for giving his relatives and admirers signed copies of his poems. As a result, there are several interpretations of his poetical works that have appeared throughout the Americas. Many current collectors have urged potential buyers to be cautious when they come across a work that was reportedly autographed by Barrios due to known forgeries.
Barrios was known for his live and on gramophone recordings. Barrios was "superior to Segovia," according to an eyewitness testimony from Lope Texera in Caracas Venezuela on April 18, 1932. "I saw it in London last year." Barrios has been credited with being the first classical guitarist to record in 1909-10, but the first recorded recording for the "Viuda de Aramburo" label, which was released in Madrid between 1897 and 1901, was by guitarists Luis and Simon Ramirez. Barrios have appeared in concert in traditional Paraguayan dress (he was partially of Guaran's origins), beginning in 1932, with the word "Nitsuga" being Agustn spelled backwards, and "Mangore" being the name of a cacique of the South American indigenous group Timb).
Despite being born well into the twentieth century, his works remained largely late-Romantic in spirit. Many of them are also adaptations of, or are inspired by, South American and Central American folk music. Those that are virtuosic are extremely popular.
The Johann Sebastian Bach-inspired La Catedral, 1921-1921, is widely considered to be Barrios' magnum opus, despite winning Andrés Segovia's permission in 1921 in Buenos Aires, where Barrios had concertized just weeks before me. Elbio Trapani, his secretary, escorted him to me. Barrios joined me at the hotel and performed several of his compositions, one of which was particularly striking was a stunning concert piece that is ideal for any concert guitarist's repertory. Barrios had promised to send me a copy of the job right away (I had ten days to go on with), but I never got a copy. However, it is also likely that Segovia did not get the score and decided not to perform it, either because Barrios' folk-based music is disgusting or professional jealousy, as Barrios was more of a composer than he was).
Barrios performed in Venezuela, Haiti, Cuba, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, El Salvador, and Guatemala from 1934 to 1935 after touring Europe in 1934-35. Several writers have suggested that Barrios revisited Mexico in 1939, but no one with the Mexican government had an entry for him or his wife Gloria that year. After obtaining an entry visa at the US Embassy in Maracaibo, 1936, he fulfilled his aspiration to travel to the United States. Barrios and his wife arrived in Puerto Rico, a US territory, in January 1937, according to ship passenger lists.
After it was discovered that he was travelling with phony diplomatic papers issued by his lifetime companion and Patron Tomas Salomoni, he allegedly suffered a myocardial infarction in front of the US Embassy in Guatemala City on October 27,1939. Barrios, who was last in Germany and at the start of the Second World War, would never be able to use his diplomatic contacts. Because of his political leanings, he was given an invitation to leave Guatemala. He accepted Maximiliano Hernández Martnez Martez Martez Martez Martnez, then President of El Salvador,'s invitation to move to El Salvador and take up a role in the Conservatory and Declamation Rafael Olmedo.
He was never to leave El Salvador. Past biographers speculated that he died on August 7, 1944, after a second myocardial infarction that caused his death, but it is still undetermined. According to a forensic surgeon, his death was more likely due to poisoning than cause. At the time, Barrios' wife was engaged in an open affair with Italian coffee plantation owner Pasquale Cosarelli, who was also living in Barrios' household. Cosarelli was scheduled to marry Barrios' widow shortly and had both the motivation and the chemicals to carry out the assassination. Barrios was buried in Cementerio de Los Ilustres, having been carried there in the hottest week of the year on the shoulders of his students. His handwritten scores were stolen by his students as well as his scrapbooks in the hours after his death.
Later life and death
Barrios appeared in Venezuela, Haiti, Cuba, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, El Salvador, and Guatemala after touring Europe in 1934-35. Several writers have suggested that Barrios return to Mexico in 1939, but his asylum application with the Mexican government did not include one entry for him or his wife Gloria that year. Since receiving an entry visa at the US Embassy in Maracaibo Venezuela on December 23, 1936, he fulfilled his dream to travel to the United States. Barrios and his wife arrived in Puerto Rico, a US territory, in January 1937, according to ship passenger lists.

Barrios was never to use his diplomatic connections after being in Germany, leading up to the Second World War. Because of his political leanings, he was allowed to leave Guatemala. Maximiliano Hernández Martez Martnez, El Salvador's then President, had invited him to El Salvador and take up a post in the Conservatory and Declamation Rafael Olmedo.

Career
Barrios was famed for his phenomenal performances, both live and on gramophone recordings. Eye-witness testimony from Lope Texera in Caracas Venezuela on April 18, 1932, declared that Barrios was "superior to Segovia whom I saw in London last year". Barrios has been credited as the first classical guitarist to make recordings, in 1909/10, but the earliest known recording were by guitarists Luis and Simon Ramirez, onto cylinders, for the "Viuda de Aramburo" label, in Madrid, between 1897 and 1901. Barrios sometimes performed in concert in traditional Paraguayan dress (he was partly of Guaraní origin), beginning in 1932 using the pseudonym of Nitsuga Mangoré ('Nitsuga' being Agustín spelled backwards, and 'Mangoré' being the name of a cacique of the South American indigenous group Timbú).
His works were largely late-Romantic in character, despite his having lived well into the twentieth century. Many of them are also adaptations of, or are influenced by, South American and Central American folk music. Very many of them are of virtuosic.
The Johann Sebastian Bach-inspired La Catedral, from 1921, is widely considered to be Barrios' magnum opus, even winning the approval of Andrés Segovia, who said "In 1921 in Buenos Aires, I played at the hall La Argentina noted for its good acoustics for guitar, where Barrios had concertized just weeks before me. He was presented to me by his secretary Elbio Trapani. At my invitation Barrios visited me at the hotel and played for me upon my very own guitar several of his compositions among which the one that really impressed me was a magnificent concert piece The Cathedral whose first movement is an andante, like an introduction and prelude, and a second very virtuosic piece which is ideal for the repertory of any concert guitarist. Barrios had promised to send me immediately a copy of the work (I had ten days remaining before continuing my journey) but I never received a copy." However, it is equally possible that Segovia did receive the score and chose not to play it, either out of distaste for Barrios' folk-based music or professional jealousy (because Barrios was more of a composer than he was).
After touring Europe in 1934-35, Barrios performed in Venezuela, Haiti, Cuba, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, El Salvador and Guatemala. Several writers have suggested that Barrios revisited Mexico in 1939, but his immigration file with the Mexican government did not include an entry for him or his wife Gloria that year. He fulfilled his dream to reach the United States after getting an entry visa at the US Embassy in Maracaibo Venezuela on December 23, 1936. Ship passenger lists reveal that Barrios and his wife travelled as diplomats and arrived in Puerto Rico, a US territory, in January 1937.
He reportedly suffered a myocardial infarction in front of the US Embassy in Guatemala City on October 27,1939, after it was discovered that he was travelling with phony diplomatic papers issued by his lifetime friend and Patron Tomas Salomoni. Having recently been in Germany, at the lead-in to the Second World War, Barrios was never again able to use his diplomatic connections. He was sent an invitation to leave Guatemala because of his political leanings. He accepted the invitation of Maximiliano Hernández Martínez, then President of El Salvador, to move to El Salvador and take up a position in the Conservatory and Declamation Rafael Olmedo.
He was never to leave El Salvador. Past biographers suggested that, on August 7, 1944, he suffered a second myocardial infarction which caused his death, but this is still undetermined.
