Antonio Ruiz-Pipó was a versatile musician whose compositions show both Andalusian and Parisian influences, reflecting his own life story of nonconformism coupled with an endless love of people. This program reveals his affinity for South American music, and in the duets Homenaje a Villa-Lobos and the quartet Américas, he looks toward habanera and samba (as well as a little boogie-woogie). Ancient sounds from a distant land echo in Homenaje a Antonio de Cabezón, while Cuatro para Cuatro and A Sevilla are pure Andalusian Ruiz-Pipó in their colors, rhythms and narratives.
