Hi, friends! Like Eric Phillips I'll post a gaucho piece.
My father used to make me repeat this piece many many times... A bit of him is here, in this recording. From Abel Fleury, Milongueo Del Ayer. -
Olli Yes! There's a good swing! Thank you!
-
Stefanie Mosburger-Dalz Don't worry, I perceived!
-
joosje thank you for your kindness!
-
Moyses Lopes That's so great! My mother played, but nothing fancy - just strumming chords to folk songs. It's so amazing that you are carrying on in your father's love for the guitar.
-
Moyses Lopes another discovery for me, thank you for your beautiful interpretation.
-
Moyses Lopes That is great, Moyses. You play it with such abandon. Your feel for the music is deeply imbedded in you.
-
Blaise Laflamme Thank you!
-
Jack Stewart Thank you, Jack! You're kind!
-
Moyses Lopes nice and fun piece, great playing! Both the rythm and the melody are so good and you performed it with fluidity and excellency! :)
-
Moyses Lopes Excellent! Have you ever heard Abel Carlevaro's performance of this piece? He recorded under the pseudonym of Vicent Vallegos. You can find it on Youtube.
-
Khiem Nguyen Thank you! =)
-
Dale Needles Thank you, Dale! I didn't know this recording, it's a jewel! Carlevaro, as usual, was impeccable! Gracias!

Stefanie Mosburger-Dalz Great playing here and on the Brouwer above. I don't know this second one. Can I ask you who wrote it? It's such an interesting melody. The Brouwer, of course, is just a classic.
-
Eric Phillips Ojos Brujos is also by Brouwer, both this one and Cancion de Cuna come together in Max Eschig Edition as 2 popular cuban themes.
-
Eric Phillips for me, the both belong together, the first is a lullaby, the second wakes you up afterwards;-)
-
Eric Phillips thank you, I will work on;-)

End of the Year Challenge: Finish Strong!
