PAJARILLO – Luis Zea plays Luis Zea

PAJARILLO – In the style of the Venezuelan folk harp The title PAJARILLO (“Little Bird”) derives from one of the best known Venezuelan folk dances (“joropo llanero”) which is usually accompanied by several musicians playing a diatonic folk harp, “cuatro” and maracas. In this piece I used an unconventional tuning on the guitar (D#, A#, D#, G, B, E) with the intention of getting closer to the original sonority of the harp. My thanks to César Ziegler and his excellent video team for all the work and solidarity, and to my daughter Tibisay for her indispensable support and advice in the production of this project.
