Oaxaca-born guitarist and composer Gil Gutirrez has made his home in San Miguel de Allende for many years. His music and playing have attracted attention from North and South America to Europe through his many CDs, film scores, and concert appearances. After studying classical guitar at the Benito Jurez Autonomous University in Oaxaca with teachers Jos Benitez from Peru and Jose Saldana from Mexico, Mr. Gutirrez interests spread to many musical genres, such as jazz, flamenco and son cubano.
