Ryo Kawasaki - Capricho Arabe [1980]

Ryo Kawasaki / 川崎燎 plays famous "Capricho Arabe" by Francisco Tárrega using Ryo's unique jazzy guitar synthesizer arrangement over original classical guitar arrangement from 1980 Album "Little Tree". This is Ryo's first album using guitar synthesizer. All synthesizer sounds are produced by Ryo's custom guitar synthesizer and there's no Keyboard synthesizer. Ryo Kawasaki: Classical guitar & guitar synthesizer. Recorded at Sound Ideas studio in New York City 1980.

Capricho Arabe is an enormous piece. Over 700 years of Moorish occupation of the Iberian peninsula (Spain) have left a huge, eternal mark...700 years is longer than Europeans have been in the Americas to date. The guitar as an instrument was brought in by the Arabs and became Spain's instrument...Although the 2 cultures never really mixed and the 2 monotheistic religions showed respect for one another, it is in music and a few Spanish words (for instance, all Spanish words containing AL -almohada=pillow alcoba=bedroom- are of Arabic origin) that the best of the 2 cultures comes together....
