Today’s worm was found via the HBIC who posted another song from this concert series. Bigs up and a booby squeeze for that! The song below was composed by the great Agustin Lara who was (and continues to be) one of Mexico’s greatest treasures. I learned to play one of his songs on the piano for my mom and Mama Maria (grandma) who are both huge fans of his work. This song, Farolito (Lighthouse) is my all time favorite Lara song and found me digging through my iPod for more of Lara’s music. It also reminded me that I really miss my Mama Maria and listening to her hum Lara’s songs while she crocheted a new tablecloth or blanket.
The arrangement, courtesy of the conductor – the great Alondra de la Parra – is a sweet waltz made sweeter by Natalia LaFourcade’s delicate vocals.
