Guitar Conversations Podcast Sergio Ercole

I chat with guitar icon Milos Karadaglic who has been performing classical guitar around the globe over the last decade as an artist for Deutche Grammaphone. He shares insights and learnings from his time in the guitar limelight. These include recording his award winning albums, and in particular Concerto Aranjuez and his new concerto collaborations. We also go into detail about how he forged his unique path towards an international guitar career. I really enjoyed my chat with Milos I hope you do too, please let me know your thoughts on my insta page or facebook page @sergioguitarist. 
 

Thanks for joining me for episode 42 of Guitar Conversations. It has been a while since my last podcast episode as I decided to take a break from this project to focus on other things. As you may know, I run a busy guitar program at a school in Melbourne, I have an active performing career and examining schedule(not during a pandemic) and publish a lot of teaching content on Latin Guitar Mastery.com. I really enjoy connecting with other guitarists who are doing interesting things so I'll continue publishing episodes as often as I can. If you'd like to stay in touch with my activities you can follow me on @sergioguitarist on Instagram.

My guest this episode is Derek Gripper who is a classically trained guitarist who has made waves in the guitar and world music scene with his ground breaking guitar arrangements of west African folk music. I ran into Derek at the Adelaide Guitar Festival last month and I found his stories fascinating. In our chat we explore some of the West African oral musical traditions and how they relate to this mystical 21 string harp called the Kora. We talk about Derek's recent collaborations with John Williams and kora virtuoso Toumani Diabate and how he managed to notate the highly complex and virtuosic kora music. Please enjoy my conversation with Derek Gripper.
