Agustín Amigó has written a beautiful song in “Querido Profesor”. By using consonant harmonies that venture in and out of gentle dissonance, Querido Profesor brings with it a sense of nostalgia and pondering without being sappy or cliche.
Querido Profesor is not just well-composed; it is also beautifully performed and recorded. Flowing and not robotic at all, Agustín Amigó’s performance has elegant phrasing and is recorded crystal clear.
What I enjoy most about this track is the sensitivity with which each note is composed, and also with which each note is performed. No note in Querido Profesor is insignificant, and each note is treated with special care.
Take a listen to this track!

Agustín Amigó – Artist Bio
Agustín Amigó is a passionate song maker and fingerstyle guitarist. Born in the Canary Islands, he moved at teenager age to Germany. Following his passion for making music, he met the guitar master Ulli Boegershausen. He encouraged him to play solo acoustic guitar and from that moment on Amigo started a remarkable journey of creativity and self-taught distinct playing.
He became one of the early representatives of the Spanish fingerstyle movement, and has already a long track record with more than 100 own songs and 5 solo albums.
The leading German acoustic guitar magazine “Akustik Gitarre” writes about him: “Amigo has an own signature style with immaculate beautiful tone” and praises his music: “a really recommendable album with atmospheric instrumentals full of rich harmonies and remarkably pleasing sound”.
The japanese ACOUSTIC GUITAR WORLD magazine says about Amigo: “Agustin Amigo’s music unfolds a lot of light and positive energy”
The Spanish guitarist has performed live in many European- and Asian concert halls, playing solo or sharing the stage with international fingerstyle players like Jacques Stotzem, Ulli Boegershausen, Masaaki Kishibe, Justin King and Sungha Jung
