Rhythm
The guitar has always played a vital role in folk music and many composers of classical guitar music have been inspired by this. Rhythm is perhaps the most important factor in folk music; I may well have always known this, but when I came to prepare this CD I consciously realised that most rhythms have names. This is a matter of course in South America, where most of the music on this CD originates. A number of these rhythms are to be heard here, including the joropo, the habanera, the tango, the milonga, the candombe and the choriño.
