Hernandez. Martin Fierro
Description
This, the Argentine national epic and the finest example of gauchesca poetry, celebrates the free-spirited mestizo cowboy of the pampas, a man of few possessions beyond his pride and his guitar. The program provides a stunning rendition of the poem, which is both the narrative of one man and the story of a nation and a culture.
