Born in 1942 of mixed
racial heritage, Gentil Montaña has deep roots in the musical culture of
Colombia, spending much of his early adult life playing popular music in
various groups. Due to the lack of guitar method books and sheet music in
Colombia at the time, he was not exposed to the music of Sor, Aguado, Giuliani
or Bach until he was in his early twenties, often through recordings which he
then transcribed himself. All the while, Montaña was active as a composer and
during the Alirio Diaz International Competition in Caracas in 1975, none other
than Antonio Lauro called him aside and said, Montana, you must concentrate on
your composition; it is a gift from God. Fortunately for the guitar world, he
did just that.
