Spanish Camino Music – Selection No. 7

[gerardcarey]

When one sees a Utube video that has had over 18 million views, one would think that alone would deem it essential viewing.
When the video in question is a "Classical"guitar performance, and by someone to me unknown, that absolutely guarantees I'll be hitting the GO button.
One can debate as to whether Michael Lucarelli is a classical guitarist.
What one cannot debate is that his performances are impressive and for that reason reach a wide audience.
Malaguena.
By the composer Ernesto Lecuona. He added lyrics in Spanish to what was originally the sixth movement of his Suite Andalucía (1933).
A guitarist friend advises it is best appreciated with the video set to 'full screen' and the volume set at a reasonably high level.
Not essential, but I do understand his reasoning.

If you decide you are a fan of his interpretive style you will find many of Michael Lucarelli's performance on Utube.
Just plug Michael Lucarelli in the search section of Utube.

I note Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata has over 8 million views.

It seems there is some Flamenco-style to this particular piece, but I agree – you can’t argue about his virtuoso guitar playing.

That’s what I pictured in my mind that the Meseta looked like based on what everyone was saying.

My favorite Camino song is by Dan Mullins from Austrailia.....Somewhere Along the Way

Just a splash of Flamenco.
Certainly not a traditionally constructed Flamenco guitar.
But who cares?

That’s what I pictured in my mind that the Meseta looked like based on what everyone was saying.

I guess a walker's idea of what the Meseta is depends on what their motivation is in walking.
And to figure out the different motivations we probly need to walk a while/mile in their shoes/trailrunners/boots/etc, or maybe even bare feet.
But that's really what you pictured in your minds eye?
Have you considered that perhaps you may have an overactive imagination?
I mean I like to have a bit of salt around when it's mealtime, but that cobber, that's just damn ridiculous.
Yours, in our ongoing search for communal mental wellness,
