The classical guitarist Berta Rojas, vastly popular on Youtube and a Latin Grammy winner, has called off a European tour after receiving a breast cancer diagnosis. She writes: ‘Dear people, for health reasons I’ve had to cancel this week’s European tour. A few days ago I was diagnosed with breast cancer in an early stage, so I have begun the necessary medical treatment.’

We wish Berta a speedy recovery.

    Desde California rezo por tu recuperacion. Tu musica y tu interpretacion del creador y maestro Agustin Barrios es espectacular y unica en el mundo. Tu acaricias la guitarra que transmite tus emociones y las emociones de todos los que te apreciamos, porque en resumen somos todos Berta y somos todos Agustin. Un abrazo a la distancia Berta y que Dios te bendiga ahora y siempre…
    Amen!

    Dearest Berta: with extreme sadness I learnt of your medical condition, my thoughts, heart and love go out to you, I share my sad tears with you, I admire you for many years (sponsored a concert for you in Austin a few years back) as the finest interpreter of Barrios. Wish you fast recovery, strength and hope. With all my love
    Your friend Horatio.
