José Ramírez III writes this book to record our history and the work and research he carried out. Many of the chapters were old articles that were requested for specialized magazines, which he revised and increased their content for the book. It is a reference in the world of guitar and essential to understand the moment he lived and the revolution he brought about. In this edition, available in Spanish and English, the prologue by Víctor Monge Serranito and José Luis Rodrigo are added. In the end Amalia Ramírez dedicates a letter to her father talking about everything that has happened in the Ramírez House since her death.
