Ruiz-pipo / Monasterium Guitar Quartet - Works With Guitar 3 - Music CD

Antonio Ruiz-Pip was a versatile musician whose compositions display both Andalusian and Parisian influences as well as reflecting his own life story of non-conformism coupled with an infinite love for humanity. This program reveals his inclination towards South American music, and in the duets Homenaje a Villa-Lobos and the quartet Amrica she looks towards the habanera and samba (as well as a little boogie-woogie). Ancient sounds from a faraway land echo in the Homenaje a Antoniode Cabezn, while Cuatropara Cuatro and A Sevilla are pure Andalusian Ruiz-Pip in terms of their colors, rhythms and narrative.
