Berta Rojas: Up Close And Personal

Full name: Berta Beatriz Rojas Benítez
Date of birth: September 23, 1966
Country of birth: Paraguay

Who are your favorite writers, composers?
The great composers of all time, Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms….but I always felt a call to perform the work of Latin American emerging composers with whose music I fully identify. Edin Solis, Quique Sinesi, and Julio Cesar Oliva, whose works are included in my latest album "Salsa Roja" are clear examples. This album is true to my essence as a Latin American classical guitarist. In it I sought to explore rhythms and sounds of our America from living composers writing their music today and doing so with a beauty that is totally moving for me. Something similar happens to me with literature; I feel strongly attracted to the work of Latin American writers.
