The legendary figures of Antonio Lauro and Alirio Diaz are monuments of the Venezuelan spirit. It is important to remember the extraordinary course of fortune which brought together Antonio Lauro and Alirio Diaz - a great Composer and a great virtuoso who inspired each other with their creativity. This interaction was vital in the success of this wonderful Music, born of their common cultural heritage and presented to the world through the extraordinary talents of Alirio Diaz, the greatest performer of Lauro's guitar works. It is difficult not to draw parallels between this relationship and that Andrés Segovia with Manuel Ponce or Julian Bream with Benjamin Britten and William Walton.

The harp was brought to South America between 1500-1600. The arpa criolla is a completely different Instrument from the classical harp. It is smaller in size and is also tuned quite differently. Indio Figueredo was one of the central figures in the development of this Instrument and he has left a tremendous wealth of creativity in both his compositions and also the traditional melodies that he arranged and performed. This musical treasure is a source and reference for other Venezuelan composers who have been inspired by it in their classical compositions and have also incorporated the harp into their concert works.
