What it is
Spanish guitar music is direct and physical: fingers, wood, rhythm and melody. It ranges from classical repertoire to flamenco intensity and modern guitar pieces used for warm table settings.
Music topic
Spanish Guitars
Flamenco pulse, classical tone and bright nylon-string colour.
Where it comes from
The Spanish guitar became a concert instrument through classical composers and performers, while flamenco developed through Andalusian vocal, dance and guitar traditions. The shared sound is expressive, percussive and highly portable.
