Product Description
Celebrations dedicated to La Virgen Maria are an integral part of Latino Spirituality throughout Latin America and the American Southwest. This album delves into the heart of these celebrations with a series of festive, melodious pieces that feature the nylon-string guitar as a central instrument. Several of the tunes are traditional songs dedicated to the Virgin of Guadalupe such as De Colores, Golondrinas Para La Virgen and Mananitas Para La Virgen. Other tunes include Latino-style versions of Ave Maria and Jesu Joy of Man s Desiring. Most of the tracks also feature accompaniment from the Mexican harp, marimba button accordion and percussion.
