Synopsis
By the late 40s, a man changed forever the history of Venezuela’s national instrument: the cuatro. Fredy Reyna made out of this small 4 strings guitar, until the moment relegated as secondary instrument to accompany bands or ensembles, a soloist instrument worth of concerts.
This documentary, a radiography more than a biography, brings one of Venezuela’s greatest genius through his family, friends, pupils and of course: his music.
