A musical journey through Latin America exploring the cultural impact of string instruments on its cultures
Berta Rojas presents La huella de las cuerdas (The Journey of Strings), a project tracing the cultural impact of the guitar in Latin America and illuminating the ties that bind it in so many ways to the wider family of stringed instruments in the Americas.
«La Huella de las Cuerdas is a musical project of striking originality and tremendous depth as well as one that is a joy to listen to throughout. Quite a feat! (…) The recordings were made in an amazing collection of venues from Boston and Rome to Santiago, Chile, with many stops in between. Regardless of location, the recordings are always clear and vivid. (…) This is a project of great scope and revelatory dedication, and we must be thankful that Berta has undertaken it. Do whatever it takes to get it!»

“The Journey of Strings” is more than an album to me: it is a musical journey that gave me the honor of connecting with extremely talented Latin American artists who brought immeasurable value to this project.
