"Singer/Song of the Day" Month

Last year, I devoted a series of posts to the month of February called "Singer of Day" Month. This year, in keeping with the tradition, I'd like to highlight the Song, Lied and Mélodie. Hopefully, it will yield some great singers, examples of great music from the song repertoire and perhaps some unknown gems.

Como quieres que adivine (Guridi)

My apologies for not having posted in the last several days. I will continue and try to caught up.



Spanish composer, Jesús Guridi (1866- 1961) wrote a set of six songs, which are quite beautiful and can be a great addition to any song recital. They are entitled Seis canciones castellanas/ Six Castilian Songs
This one is exquisitely sung by Carmen Bustamente.

Como quieres que adivine? /How do you expect me to guess?
