About This:

La Gitana is a collection of transcriptions and original compositions by classical guitarist John Tavano.

The transcriptions are drawn from the Baroque repertoire of J.S. Bach, Satie's French Cafe Music of 1889, and interpretations of traditional Spanish and Latin American folk music.

The original compositions are written in the spirit and style of the Latin/Jazz ensemble. Drawing from its deeply rooted traditions, this Spanish Guitar is the inspration for the rich, colorful, and deeply romantic images of festivals and ancient dramas of sorrow and joy.
