John-Henry, or JH has recently released an album called Corazón, featuring music by Villa Lobos, Piazzolla, Ponce, Gismonti and more. He spoke about how his passion for Latin American music was ignited, how JH’s experience learning the Spanish language has informed the way he approaches these pieces musically, as well as how cellists need to adapt when playing with a classical guitarist.  Here's JH and JiJi's video performance of Água e Vinho: https://www.thestrad.com/video/new-video-john-henry-crawford-and-jiji-perform-agua-e-vinho/15040.article  Check out thestrad.com for the latest news and articles on all things to do with string playing.
