Twelve Trolls Of Christmas

It's a Friday and that means it's @MusicWeeklies day!  This week's theme is #BigCities, and I thought I would travel back in time to one of the earliest cities, Uruk.  As always, everything is very loosely connected and the artwork shows a picture of my son and I in another city, Cairo.  The music contains instruments from other ancient civilisations, can you spot them?

Elegant Shepherdess And Her Grand Adventure

Today's #MusicalMinute alludes to events in time repeating in the same instant, and how cycles can sometimes unveil interesting phenomena.  It also introduces a chilled new fruity genre, the 'Goji berry Groove' - a deep healing contemplative dance from the East!  What do you think?

Today's #MusicalMinute is in response to the @MusicWeeklies #Geisha challenge.  Adding Koto to my template seems to have caused a few problems resulting in lots of crashes, loss of external drive connections and audio issues!  Hopefully, everything will be alright for tomorrow.  What do you think?

FUEGO DE INVIERNO - WINTER FIRE - SHORT TALES PART VIII

In this part of my Short Tales Series, pieces for three acoustic guitars, I explore diversions from a very solemn, contemplative Flamenco style or "Palo" called Seguiriya. “Seguiriya” is one of the oldest flamenco styles. It is one of the most important with the “bulería” and “soleá”. More precisely I blend it with the Buleria. You can hear snippets of the original style here and there in this piece as well as the outro. I however travel into different fields of music with it, Latin, Classical and Jazz. The result is I guess Fusion or Worldmusic. 

I hope you'll enjoy this one as well as the full series of Short Tales for Three Guitars, which I will put up here as an album, as well as on Bandcamp soon for sale. 

As always I really enjoy your likes, shares and comments!
