About the music and composer...
Fandanguillo is the second work from a collection of three short pieces titled “Tres Piezas para Guitarra” by Bartolomé Calatayud. This is one of Bartolomé Calatayud's many popular pieces and was published in a collection titled "The Guitar Music of Spain, Volume One: Over Fifty Traditional Pieces".
Bartolomé Calatayud (September 8, 1882- April 11, 1973) was a Spanish classical guitar composer, teacher and performer. He was born in 1882 on the island of Mallorca. In 1899, while still a teenager, he was awarded the Diploma of Honour 1st Class by the Workers Instructive Centre Palma for his "superior musical knowledge in guitar playing." A contemporary and friend of Miguel Llobet and Andrés Segovia, he studied guitar first with Pedro Antonio Alemany Palmer (Palma 1862-1952), and then with Antonio Gomez Melters (1839-1908). He studied harmony and composition with the great Majorcan musicologist and composer D. Antonio Noguera. Bartolomé was also taught by Francisco Tárrega in Valencia.
He gave concerts in Spain, France, Switzerland, Portugal and Algiers and toured South America with Spanish Chorus and Dance groups. In Majorca he composed many works for the classical guitar and taught the instrument. Many of his guitar works are based on popular Catalan/Majorcan folk music.
Although less famous in the classical guitar world, Bartolomé Calatayud has left much enjoyable and exciting music written for classical guitarists of all abilities. He taught many pupils in Majorca during his final years. He died in 1973 at the age of 90. (Wikipedia)

You are a great man playing a great guitar. Your songs are always amazing and meaningful. More grease to your elbow and more wisdom always. Amen
Thanks for your encouraging comments and your recent visit to my UA-cam channel!
Nice! I like Calatayud's pieces because they have a definite Spanish flavor without being too difficult technically.😀
I completely agree with you on that point. I used to play these pieces a lot at casual performances (parties, corporate events and weddings) where the client wanted mostly Spanish music.
