Maria Cervantes: Guajiras Cubanas and the Cuban zapateo

03/24/09

I understand that Maria Cervantes' voice isn't everybody's cup of tea (I like it), but I think most will agree that the music itself is very interesting. The piano-only accompaniment reminds me of a Schubert lied.

The album is a valuable addition to my collection.

Below is a video of the Cuban country dance mentioned in the song, el zapateo, just to give you an idea of what it looks like. The video is of poor quality, but the alternative was to film myself doing the dance, and I forgot my hat at my dad's house.

Now, "Zapateo," by Rene Touzet. Bonito, no?
