Me toca contribuir a la sección "La canción de la semana". El periódico español El Mundo publica un especial sobre el cantaor José Mercé, con algunas de las canciones de su nuevo disco y una especie de diccionario sobre los términos flamencos. No os lo perdáis. Podéis acceder mediante este vínculo.

...is not really a song but I post it anyway: Recuerdos de la Alhambra by Francisco Tárrega. Here you can hear (and see) this famous tremolo piece played by Australian guitarist Sal Bonavita. If you are interested in learning flamenco guitar techniques, go to this page containing short and useful video clips. And if you can read sheet music, here is the thing, courtesy of (check it!) Classical Guitar School, Iceland.
...es el reggae Sud' Americano interpretada por Mariana Montalvo (de CD Piel de Aceituna).

This tune is called Hoy es Día de Placer and appears on the album La Noche Buena: Christmas Music of Colonial Latin America by San Antonio Vocal Arts Ensemble (SAVAE).
The recording takes listeners on an intriguing and often unexpected musical journey into the cathedrals of the Spanish colonial frontier. The Nativity story is told here through music that captures the lively cultural exchange between Indigenous, African, and Spanish voices. European motets appear alongside Afro-Spanish guarachas on the recording.
