Agustín Barrios Mangoré was indeed a beyond amazing guitarist and a supreme composer. He was born in Paraguay, a South American country as well. There's lots of stuff by him to study. That guy was way ahead of his time!
Thanks for the correction! *Now* I have him found:

(Wikipedia) "José Martínez [born January 28, 1890 in Buenos Aires, died July 27, 1939, called "El Gallego" ( The Spaniard )] was an Argentine musician (guitarist, pianist), band leader and composer of Tango Argentino. José Martínez was one of the great pianists in the early days of the emergence of the classical tango orchestra. In his compositions he played an important role in the development of Tango Argentino as a new art form."
