Danzas Arabes

[Leslaw Bieniasz]

Hi,

Thanks for answers to my previous questions.
I am also looking for the scores book
"Danzas Arabes" from Affedis, and again I need some
more info about the contents. The ads available on the internet
are not very clear about whether the book contains pieces for
solo guitar (there is something written about 3 guitars).
If anybody has the book, please tell me. I am particularly interested
in Zambra "Castillo Moro" by Sabicas, if it is the version for solo
guitar. Or, maybe someone knows about other possible source
for the scores/tabs for that piece?

"El Castillo Moro" is from the LP "Flamenco Virtuoso", and is included
in the disc of the Chant du Monde collection (Volume 14) devoted to
Sabicas. It is indeed triple-tracked, although it starts with a solo
guitar.

I don't have the Affedis collection you mention, so I can't comment.
However, the main guitar part bears a strong resemblance to Sabicas's
earlier "Amenecer Arabe", the music of which is more easily available;
and if you're visually oriented, there are version on YouTube of both
Sabas and Paco Peña playing it:
