(more…)A 2 part article I wrote on Huerta’s activities in America is being published by the Guitar Foundation of America in Soundboard Volume 50, numbers 3 and 4. The article includes portions of biographical articles detailing Huerta’s various stories regarding his concerts and other events during the 2 years he was in America between April 1824 and early 1826. Since some of the articles are very long the information not specific about these years was left out of the article. Below I present the shorter full articles in the original languages and translations. See here for the full 1865 article by Philibert Audebrand.
