Anthology ¡Jácaras! : Guitar music in Santiago de Murcia in the 18th century Paul O'Dette, Andrew Lawrence-King

Lawrence-King, Pedro Estevan, Pat O‘Brien, Steve Player "It appears that the devil brought these lewd bailes out of hell," said one critic, describing the exotic folk dances that took Spain by storm in the 18th century. Spanish guitar master Santiago de Murcia interwove the rich European Baroque tradition with the extroverted, virtuosic styles of West Africa and Latin America to create a brilliant tapestry, rendered here in lively performances by Paul O’Dette, Pedro Estevan, Andrew Lawrence-King, Pat O’Brien, and Steve Player.
