Yes, it's a very traditional tune.

The name of this tune is “Carreta guype.” This means "under the ox cart."

The composer was José del Rosario Diarte, and also he was a contemporary of Barrios.

I know that Barrios was born very close to here, right?

So maybe do you think he could have played or listened to this music durin his youth and during his life?

Yes.

And also, his father played this kind of tune, this kind of folk music.
