Rafael Aguirre performs Gran Jota by Francisco Tarrega (1852–1909). This comes via Aguirre’s YouTube channel. Great performance with all the drama and virtuosic displays associated with the piece. Gran Jota is a virtuosic work based on the lively traditional jota folk dance of Northern Spain, Aragon. The piece is a series of variations that showcase advanced guitar techniques from shifts in texture, rapid ornamentation, and percussive effects such as tamburo.
As Aguirre mentions, “I am delighted to share Francisco Tárrega’s “Gran Jota” with you—a piece that showcases the full virtuosity of the guitar and captivated me as a child, inspiring me to pursue a career as a concert guitarist. My thanks to the Hotel Santa Catalina in Las Palmas for their kindness.”
Absolutely amazing performance. Thank you so much for sharing

아름답고 기교가 뛰어난 연주인거 같네요
소리가 또렷하고 조화롭고 좋아요
기타줄은 어떤줄을 쓰시나요?
I’m not sure what strings he’s using, you can leave him a comment on his YouTube and might get an answer.
