[Justin Holland]
AfriClassical.com profiles classical guitarist and composer Justin Holland (1819-1887) along with many other Composers of African Descent. During the past couple of years Justin Holland has been featured on AfriClassical with increasing frequency, at least partly due to the “Justin Holland Guitar Project” conducted by Dr. Kim Perlak, http://www.kimperlak.com/, who teaches guitar in Austin, Texas. Amaranth Publishing offers sheet music of Justin Holland:
