Pancho Alvarez
Florencio, O Cego Dos Villares (Boa / Do Fol)
The 1998 recording, by the founder of Na Lua and current member of the Carlos Núñez Band, is an all-acoustic affair dedicated to the music of Florencio, a blind fiddler and singer born in 1914, who travelled around the musical fairs of Galicia and Asturia in the mid-20th century. Multi-instrumentalist Alvarez recreates the music of the old singer with a nod to past and present, playing 10 instruments including fiddle, bouzouki, concertina and percussion
