Keith James and Rick Foot

Lorca

Keith James and Rick Foot perform this concert of music from their recent album inspired by the poetry of Spanish Poet Federico Garcia Lorca, the concert also includes the music of Leonard Cohen, Joni Mitchell, Tim Buckley and Nick Drake.

"I am one in a long line of would be disciples, who, having discovered the work of Federico García Lorca, feel seduced by it's beauty and passion. This being true I have taken it upon myself to delve into his most acclaimed body of work - his poetry - and put a collection of poems to music using the simple arrangement of myself on vocal and guitar (mostly classical) and Rick Foot on everything he can do with a Double Bass.

Two people have put Lorca's poems to music in the past, Paco Ibanez in 1964 and Leonard Cohen in 1988. Below are the lyrics to Leonard Cohen's version of Lorca's "Little Viennese Waltz" released on his 1988 album "I'm Your Man"."

"An elegant and beautifully crafted reinterpretation of a great artist's words. Lorca lives!"
