Fernando Perez

I attended to a concert of Fernando Perez last Thursday. He is a spanish guiterist from Zaragoza. He said he learned classical spanish music since he was a child.
He played flamenco musics in the concert, some of them was in cuban style. He explained that during the spanish civil war(guerra civil espanola), many artists had came out from spain to other countries, and some went to Cuba. Then, after the war they came back to spain but also brought flamenco music of cuban style that they created there.
Also, he played my favorit music "Concierto de Aranjuez". But this time, he was alone in the concert, so he arrenged this concierto into solo-guiter music. He said it is a challenge for him because originaly this is a beautiful orchestra music, so the music he arrenged is very dificult. For me, it was very nice and wonderful and the best music ever, because one of the reasons that I like Aranjuez is the beautiful sound of guiter. When I listened it played with only the guiter, I was very very impressed..
I will put a video in next article.. but not now.. because of this egyptian slooooow internet connection..
