Andrea González Caballero at the 2021 Iberoamerican Online Guitar Festival

Andrea González Caballero, described by “Operaworld Magazine” as “the female voice of the Spanish guitar,” will take part in the relaunched edition of the “Iberoamerican Online Guitar Festival” with pieces by Tarrega and Sainz de la Maza.

On the occasion of the 45th Anniversary of the Iberoamerican Cultural Attachés Association (AACIA), the organization retrieves its former classical guitar series Iberoamerican Guitar Festival. The series started in 2006 and was paused a few years later, but AACIA brings it back again this year in an online format.
