This research work tries to fill the gaps that could have become permanent due to ignorance and oblivion. The work and life of Antonio Chover Salom are a paradigmatic example which gives full sense to the recovery of Spanish musical heritage and makes it essential. They are remarkable his family’s resolution and eagerness to revalue his work and keep it alive, far beyond the local appreciation— in his native village, Tavernes, or in his beloved Cádiz-—that master Antonio Chover could have during his lifetime.

His music for guitar can be defined as an original creation that, stemming from tradition, evolved gradually into a particular style of expression by using a language based on tonality but altering its rules. He resorts to popular music but providing it with modernity, declaims on a lyrical basis but distortions it to make it more personal. Antonio Chovar’s guitar language realizes in a particular universe of sound, which taken as a whole, shapes a homogeneous body which should be recovered, understood and enjoyed.
