Canciones de García Lorca para guitarra.

Paco de Lucía arranges and interprets, along with Ricardo Modrego, the songs brought together in the twenties by Federico García Lorca, most of which were collected from the canon of popular songs from the 18th century which Federico recorded in 1931, accompanied on the piano by Encarnación López, “La Argentinita”. The accompaniment given to every song is based on the rhythm of the songs as they were adapted by Lorca, above the basic tune they considered fitted with the Flamenco toque. The cantabiles are replaced by instrumental arrangements of great expression, making of the melody a singular instrumental unit. The selection recorded here does not present the whole collection of popular songs gathered together by Lorca, ‘Romance de Don Bosio’ y ‘La Tarara’ are not included, but it does include ‘El Vito’, a popular Andalusian song recorded by Paco de Lucía on his album Recital de Guitarra in 1972.
