I feel guilty today.  I now realize that my readers are relying on me to report on the Andrés Segovia Competition (facebook) again this year.  There are tons of seaches about it leading to my blog.  Well I am sorry to say that I did not make the trip down this year.  I hope it is not a sign of the times for guitarists and guitar-makers but only three guitarists actually participated.  To top it off only two of them made it to the finals.  Marco Victora Wagner from Brazil took first prize and Angélica Rodríguez from Paraguay won the Leo Brouwer prize and the Juventudes Musicales prize. Here is a newspaper article in Spanish.
