Bulerias Y Cancion - José Barroso

I learned this piece from a cassette tape called "Guitar Music of Latin America" by Laurindo Almeida who recorded it in 1955.
You can find the sheet music in Laurindo Almeida's Anthology published by Mel Bay.
Like Laurindo Almeida, the composer, José Barroso used to be a session guitarist/cellist in California; nothing more about him is known He published only two compositions; this one and "Tehuacan", also recorded by Laurindo Almeida. A pity he didn't publish any more as both are very beautiful.

The title "Bulerias Y Cancion" puzzles me as the music has little to do with flamenco.

I'm playing a Alhambra crossover guitar.

Isn't the composer now president of the European Union>?

[daddystovepipe]

No, that's another one, he's not musically inclined, he knows only one song :

"give me your money..."

What a Beautifull *A* man!!! Does it play as nice as it sounds/looks??? You sure do make it sound like a killer guitar

bravo!

compared to a steelstring it has a rather high action but you get used to it after a while.
