Mario Suzuki Masterpiece Of Folklore XRCD24

Folklore guitarra is the traditional Spanish folk guitar music popular in the Spanish speaking countries in South America. It also includes contemporary guitar music which carries on much of the tradition of the folklore guitar music. It is of a completely different type either from American style modern folk music or pop folklore band music.

Born in Tokyo, Japan in 1947 Mario Suzuki is a native of Japan. He has learned music composition and folklore guitar playing from Mr. Atsumasa Nakabayashi. He also learned folklore playing from both Jesusbenites ( president of Mexican folklore guitarra association) and master folklore guitarist Eduardo Falu in Argentine.

Mario has composed amazingly more than 500 pieces of folklore music. In their praise for Mario Suzuki’s performance and composition, Eduardo Falu and Atahualpa Yupanqui, prominent Argentine folklore guitarists, called Mario “a genius of folklore music.”

It is often said that non-Spanish folklore guitarra players to play folklore music perfectly is almost impossible. As though Mario wants to defy that common belief, Mario has mastered and plays folklore guitarra perfectly and thereby, Jesusbenites said Mario is a reincarnation of Quechu tribe and carries on the soul and spirit of an Indio.

Marion has also composed music for movies. In this XRCD24, track No. 14-16 are from the soundtrack for the famous movie titled “Shin-Yukiguni” or “A New Snow-Village” that Marion has composed and he plays in track 14. We hope you enjoy touching folklore music and Mario’s unparalleled performance of folklore playing and fantastic music Mario has composed.
