Samuel Diz is a Spanish classical guitarist and music researcher renowned for his dedication to revitalizing the works of forgotten composers and his affinity for literary connections within music. Emanating from Galicia, Diz has carved out a niche for himself by exploring the intersection of music and literature, marrying these two art forms in his performances and recordings. His series "Músicas inéditas en casas literarias" exemplifies this approach, uncovering lost compositions and presenting them in the context of literary figures' homes across Spain, such as those of Emilia Pardo Bazán and Rosalía de Castro.
He also pays tribute to prominent figures from Spanish culture, as seen in his works "Memoria de la melancolía: grabado con la guitarra de Lorca" and "Impresiones y paisajes, como el primer libro de Lorca," where he connects his music with the world of poet and playwright Federico García Lorca. Diz’s dedication extends to the works of composers outside of Spain as well, such as in the album "Jose I. Quinton & Hermelindo Ruiz: On the Road | Puerto Rico," which celebrates the music from Puerto Rico. Samuel Diz's artistry does not merely lie in his performances but also in unearthing and bringing to the fore the cultural heritage imbued within music, thereby resurrecting the sonic landscapes of the past for contemporary audiences.
