Andalucian Suite, No. 1

📖 The Scoop

Four exciting concert solos for flamenco guitar from Juan Martin's best-selling album The Andalucian Suites. This is the first of the four suites on the album. These suites are transcribed into standard notation and flamenco tablature (cifra), with introductory playing notes by Juan Martin. The four solos on the accompanying audio are performed by Juan.

The complementary and contrasting variety of styles and rhythms of the four solos provide a brilliant display of Juan's artistry and the expressive capabilities of the flamenco guitar. Each solo is complete in itself. A powerfully evocative Zambra Mora is followed by the much-requested rumba La Feria, then a gently melancholic Milonga and finally a thrilling Bulerias, which combines modern elements with pure gypsy falsetas from Moron del la Frontera. These solos provide an exceptional opportunity to learn and enjoy the music of a master flamenco guitarist, whose two volumes of graded Solos Flamencos are already Mel Bay best-sellers. Includes access to online audio.
