I am pleased to share this video. There, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bertarojas.com\">Ms. Berta Rojas<\/a>, a fellow Paraguayan who is a world-class, Grammy-nominated classical guitar player, plays &#8220;Christmas Carol&#8221; <em>(Villancico de Navidad)<\/em> composed by Paraguayan composer <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pedroabreu.com\/2009\/11\/agustin-barrios-short-biography.html\">Agust\u00c3\u00adn Barrios<\/a>.

Even when they&#8217;re not perfect, the performance is beautiful and touching.
