    According to the Diccionario de Guitarristas by Domingo Prat, Octaviano Yañes
lived in Guanajuato, Mexico at the beginning of the 20th century, where he perfected
the guitaristic aptitude of the excellent Mexican folklorist, José Muñoz. Yañes enjoys
in his country a great popularity and is justly compared to his ex student
Ermenegildo Aguirre. His artistic activity is well developed by his performances on
the stages, concert halls, radio stations and phonograph recordings. This recording is
believed to be the first classical guitar recording dating from 1908.

    Guillermo Gomez was born in Malaga, Spain in 1880, and played violin and later

Mexico in 1900 and continued to play Flamenco, his first love, as well as Classical
guitar, having been well inspired from the Tarrega performance. His most notable
student was, professor & recording artist, Francisco Salinas. Guillermo recorded for
