Twanguero in Westlake Village

Presented for the first time in Westlake Village at Westminster Presbyterian Church, Backroads of the Americas is an intimate concert where music, storytelling, and masterful guitar playing come together.

Rooted in Spanish tradition and shaped by years of travel, his music unfolds like a living map, moving effortlessly between elegance and earthiness, from subtle Latin rhythms to reflective, cinematic melodies. Performed solo, each piece feels lived-in, carrying the traces of landscapes, cultures, and moments gathered along the way.

This recital reveals the full expressive range of the guitar—rhythmic, melodic, percussive, and deeply human—inviting listeners into a focused, immersive listening experience where music tells its story almost without words.

The program draws from The Brooklyn Session, Argentina Songbook, Carreteras Secundarias Vol. 1 & 2, selections from Panamerica, and original, unreleased material shaped by years of exploration.

Internationally known as Twanguero, Diego García is a Latin Grammy-winning guitarist praised by NPR as “one of the most fascinating guitarists I’ve ever heard.” His distinctive style blends Spanish folk, Latin American rhythms, and American roots music into a sound that is entirely his own.

An intimate concert for guitar lovers, world music audiences, and anyone drawn to music that rewards attention.
