The Guitar Federico García Lorca Ft: Cola Franzen (trans.) The weeping of the guitar begins. The goblets of dawn are smashed. The weeping of the guitar begins. Useless to silence it. Impossible to silence it. It weeps monotonously as water weeps as the wind weeps over snowfields. Impossible to silence it. It weeps for distant things. Hot southern sands yearning for white camellias. Weeps arrow without target evening without morning and the first dead bird on the branch. Oh, guitar! Heart mortally wounded by five swords. Spanish original Empieza el llanto de la guitarra. Se rompen las copas de la madrugada. Empieza el llanto de la guitarra. Es inútil callarla. Es imposible callarla. Llorra monótona como llora el agua, como llora el viento sobre la nevada. Es imposible callarla. Llora por cosas lejanas. Arena del Sur caliente que pide camelias blancas. Llora flecha sin blanco, la tarde sin mañana, y el primer pájaro muerto sobre la rama. ¡Oh guitarra! Corazón malherido por cinco espadas.

about

This is a set of tracks I have written for the acoustic guitar. They are all very recent. In the process of making I invited Jamie Rhind, piano, and Mirko Borach, fretless bass, to add their magic to them. It's been years that I have picked up an acoustic guitar, but these tracks come from my lifelong interest in the acoustic guitar, especially Paco de Lucia, Al Di Meola and John McLaughlin, but of course also flamenco Nuevo, Jazz and Classical guitar music, as you might hear.
I hope to build an entire album with them, one at a time. This is the result so far. I hope you'll enjoy my explorations on the acoustic guitar!

about

Daniel van den Berg Rotterdam, The Netherlands

Architect/partner by profession I find myself playing guitar and writing these tracks in afterhours, at nights, evenings, when in need of a dose of guitar sounds.

I have been playing guitar since I was 11 years old, largely self-taught and have tried different styles and instruments, Renaissance lute, Flamenco, Classical guitar and fusion.
