Spanish Fandango by Justin Holland - Juneteenth 2023

from Echoes From The Parlour by Crowyote

about

To celebrate Juneteenth, I'm releasing a new version of my recording/performance of Justin Holland's "Spanish Fandango."
Justin Holland (1819-1887) was the first African American guitar composer and a household name as his compositions were widely published.He was an abolitionist who participated in the Underground Railroad and an activist for Equal Rights.

Holland's arrangement of "Spanish Fandango," his only known work in open G tuning, is a seminal influence on the crossover from the classically influenced Parlor movement to the early folk/blue/roots movement. This version of my performance is more or less definitive as I've learned to leave a little more headroom when rendering the final track. I hope you enjoy. The guitar is a Larrivee PV-03QM.
