American classical guitarrist Rico Stover visited San Salvador in mid-June with support from the Public Affairs Office of the U.S. Embassy. Stover is a former Fulbright scholar and an expert on Latin American music, particularly that of the Paraguayan master Agustín Barrios Mangoré.

He wowed audiences at a standing-room only concert at the National Anthropology Museum as well as at smaller concerts at a private club and at the Residence of U.S. Ambassador to El Salvador, H. Douglas Barclay. (Photo shows Ambassador and Mrs. Barclay with the guitarrist.) Stover also gave a series of guitar master classes at the National Arts Center and multiple radio, TV and newspaper interviews.
