Background:

Born in Buenos Aires, master guitarist Néstor Benito has studied guitar since his early childhood. From a very young age, Benito began playing at the most distinguished concert halls in Argentina. He’s been awarded the Honor of Merit by the Honduras Republic for “diffusing South American music to the world.” In 1993 he recorded his first CD entitled “Works” with compositions dedicated to Benito by José Franchini and Eduardo Falú. After the release of the CD, the American States Organization sponsored him in television broadcasts with the philharmonic orchestras of Berlin, New York and Mexico. His busy performance schedule has taken him to contries including Germany, France, Spain, United States, Mexico, Colombia, Brazil and Uruguay.

”Music, which knows no boundaries except for quality, has in Néstor Benito, a performer serving it with incomparable honesty and singular brilliance "
