Canciones Andaluzas Para Dos Guitarras

Following in the trail he left on his three albums recorded with Ricardo Modrego, Paco de Lucía here starts a series of four albums with shared characteristics, now alongside his older brother Ramón de Algeciras. Here he returns to the Flamenco percussion of the zapateado (foot stamping) of the bailaor Antonio Valdepeñas, and the castanets and claps of Antoñita Imperio and Pilar la Cubanita. The understanding between the two brothers gives the quality of concerted music, which is just right for Andalusian music in general and Flamenco in particular, with both precision and enormous expressive quality. The repertoire is extracted from the abundantly leafy tree of Andalusian music, and throughout the album Paco’s guitar “sings” and achieves the richest counterpoints, while Ramón accompanies, bringing at points a second voice and rounding off the skills of his brother.
