Luiz & Liu Perform Afrocuban Dances by Lecuona

Classical guitarists João Luiz  and Alan Liu perform Afrocuban Dances by Ernesto Lecuona (1896-1963) and arranged by Leo Brouwer (b.1939). This comes via the Leo Brouwer Ediciones Espiral Eterna’s YouTube channel (go subscribe). Great performance by Luiz and Liu with intricate ensemble playing and tight rhythmic delivery. As Brouwer mentions (translated): “These arrangements for two guitars arose from a personal need: to hear some of my great-uncle Ernesto Lecuona’s most emblematic piano works performed on my instrument.”
