Laura Almerich

Laura Almerich Santacreu (3 July 1940 – 14 June 2019) was a classical Spanish guitarist from Barcelona.

She is remembered in particular for accompanying the successful Catalan-language singer Lluís Llach since he embarked on his career in the late 1960s.

[2] It was Tarragó who introduced her to Nova Cançó as the second guitar on Maria del Mar Bonet's first record in 1967.

When for political reasons, Llach had to perform outside of Spain, he always used his initial savings to have Almerich come and join him.

Almerich was so overcome by emotion that she was unable to complete her solo, breaking down in tears.
