Hearts of Space #950 Recuerdos (June 24, 2011)

Classical - Latin American/Spanish



"A nostalgic journey in the Spanish/Mediterranean soundscape."
This is one hour of music from the Native American "Hearts of Space Radio Show" broadcast on June 24, 2011. As described by Steven Hill, Producer, " The sublime nostalgia of "Recuerdos de la Alhambra" — Memories of the Alhambra," a classic tremolo study for Spanish guitar by FRANCISCO TARREGA.

It recalls a golden age in the Andalusian city of Granada in the 13th and 14th century, during a perhaps more enlightened period in human history. It was an era of some 800 years, from the 8th to the 15th century, when the Moors of North Africa ruled "Al-Andalus" (as Spain was called) and religious and political tolerance was the order of the day. Art, music, architecture and poetry flourished — and Muslim, Jewish and Christian cultures co-existed in harmony. It stands today as a shining reminder that we can, in fact, get along. On this transmission of Hearts of Space, music inspired by this great Spanish-Moorish-Mediterranean tradition, on a program called RECUERDOS.

This music has been split by song, and the Voice Overs were suppressed, so it's pure music.
Enjoy, and please remember to SEED!
