BIOGRAPHY

Born : 1928 - Montevideo, Uruguay

The Uruguayan guitarist, Oscar Caceres, began serious study of music not until his adolescence. The guitar has been his constant companion since then.

His passion for the music of the renaissance led him to the exploration of the tabulatures of the early vihuelists and lutenists, and, in order to undrestand their music better, he learned the lute as well.

The music of the 18th and 19th centuries interests him for the evolution of the instrumental technique which revived interest in the guitar.

In 1968 he was soloist of honour at the 10th International Concourse of the guitar in Paris. He has toured with great success all over Europe and South America where his rare talents have met with wide critical acclaim.

He was also a famous teacher in Saint Denis Conservatory.
