The first flamenco chord I ever learned was the typical opening of a Tarantas. A flamenco palo, or style, that originated in the Andalusian province of Almería. Tarantas is a cante libre (or tocque libre, if played as a solo), meaning that it lacks both a regular rhythmic pattern (compás, in flamenco terminology) and a regular rhythmic unit (or beat). It can be sung or played, but not danced. Hence it can be extremely lyrical, free and great to improvise on, which large parts of this one are. 

Since I am just back from a trip where I was literally staying in the vineyards of a fine wine maker, I call this one "An Evening In The Garden Of Dionysus". The cover picture I took right there.

Also, upon sentiment, since my parents celebrated their 50th Wedding Anniversary (Gold!) yesterday, I play this one on a different guitar: a Marín, Modelo Estudio /9 Calidad, built in 1997 from Malaga, Spain, which my parents brought me from Spain as a gift since I was just learning flamenco then.

This one is for my parents...

And I hope you'll enjoy this one too...

Willow (tree) or Itia in Greek is a  pan-Hellenic folk dance originating in Epirus. The dance is a form called tsamikos. The original song has lyrics. This is an instrumental version of this song. The original lyrics translate as:

"Willow tree, the fragrance of your blossoms intoxicate me. 
Tall willow in the creek, I swear my love to you. 
Oh my willow, bend lower and let me pluck a blossom."

“Sun Celebration” is the seventh album of Warsaw Village Band and the first double album in the band's discography. WVB sets off on a musical journey towards the sun, beyond horizon, from East to West, and meets on its way incredible artists from India, Persia, and Spanish Galicia. The common element that connects such geographically distant traditions with the Polish folk culture was the solar cult, and it is this spiritual community that became the inspiration for this new production. Sun Celebration presents universal stories about relationships, important transition moments and everyday worries, based on the oldest Polish folk songs. All this happens in sync with the unique and characteristic for WVB “transminimalroots” style, but on a completely new scale.

'We have been walking on the musical path for 18 years, and with each journey we notice more and more how strongly people are connected all over the world. “Sun Celebration” is an attempt to tell about the spiritual brotherhood crossing over the religious or ethnic boundaries, which are elevating in these restless times. It is also a story about the two natures of the world, Yin and Yang, male and female elements, day and night, the sun and the moon. Hence, the two CDs and their diversity, the sound experiments of the band and using new instruments, and heterogeneity and charisma of the invited Guests. We are grateful and happy that they have added the splendour to our album, and accepted the invitation and the challenge to face Polish music and that they have given it their talents and hearts.' - Maciej Szajkowski, musician the founder of WVB, said about the album.

This is so far the biggest production of the Warsaw Village Band. Incredible Guests from various musical worlds include: avangarde singer from Galicia – Mercedes Peón, kemanche genius from Iran – Kayhan Kalhor, sarangi virtuoso from India – Ustad Liaquat Ali Khan, legendary wizard of gramophone – DJ Feel-X, distinguished viola player Michał Zaborski, and others. The new quality of sound production, thanks to Studio AS One. Almost 3 years of intense work, 5 recording sessions in the best Polish studios, 13 pieces, 2 CDs, 1 album. “Sun Celebration” has come!
