Eduardo Falu
(July 7, 1923 - Still Alive)

Learning to play the guitar at age 11, Eduardo Falu was known for combining South American folkloric styles such as Carnavalito, Cueca, and Bailecito with lyrics of significant poets. Mostly self-taught, he studied through 19^th century masters and trained in harmony and theory.

His first album was recorded in Buenos Aires in 1950. He performed for the first time overseas in Paris in 1959. He later performed in Rome, Los Angeles, Madrid, and a number of other cultural capitals. He gave over 200 performances in Japan and even performed duos with his son, Juan Falu.
