Excellent! Can't wait for the full album!

There are many one hit wonders out there, even in Classical Music. Take the Canon in D by Pachelbel...heard anything else by Pachelbel lately? Me neither! Another one hit wonder might be guitarist Daniel Fortea. His version of Malagueña is played around the world, but not much of his other music is known. Which is a shame! Here's your chance to hear one of his other works, his Estudios Poeticos Dialogando.

Well I wasn't going to record Malagueña for my Flamencolele album but, then my friend and student David Jones requested it, so here it is.
A little back story on this one. About 20 years ago I had the good fortune of seeing Sonny Rollins in concert. At one point in the evening, the great saxophonist, starts playing the opening bar to St. Thomas, his most famous tune. The crowd goes crazy! And, that's it. After 8 bars of St. Thomas he changes tunes and never comes back, leaving the audience scratching their heads. 
Hilarious!  
So it's in that spirit that I present Maui-gueña. It includes the famous Malagueña melody at three points. Two are fairly obvious and one is a little tricky to find. And thanks to David Jones for the fun title. Hope you like it! 
And for bonus points, what meter is it in?

Maui-gueña

An original composition by William Wilson commissioned by Ernie Grimm for his wife Mary. Ernie asked that it be "sweet with a hint of sad." The piece is a duet with the melody played by the ukulele and the accompaniment by the guitar. It begins with a "Slack Key" guitar riff and later moves into a Flamenco section inspired by the Rodeña. The guitar is tuned to an open tuning in both Hawaiian "Slack Key" as well as traditional Spanish "Rodeña." (D A D F# B E)
It will be featured on the upcoming album Flamencolele, for more information visit Flamencolele.com .

Also for my Flamencolele album, Ramblin Gal has a little bit of a swing quality to it. Great name chosen by Stephanie Giuffre. For Ukulele and 7-string guitar.
