for those who love Garcia Lorca

[Arkteia]

I am absolutely enchanted by this Spanish poet, definitely one of the best poets of the XX century. Here are some songs using his lyrics that I found on YouTube. Hopefully some of you know Spanish, I also included "Take this Waltz" in English sang by Leonard Cohen.

Herida de Amor

My favorite one, Romance Somnambulic

I do not quite like flamenco style, but the lyrics are everywhere on the I-net and the poem is beautiful... I like that they made a song out of it, however

Leonard Cohen

Same by Anna Belen, I like it more, a little bit Piaf-esque

Hopefully, someone might enjoy them as much as I do... Today is not an anniversary of Garcia Lorca, killed by Spanish fashistas during the Civil War, but another anniversary related to his memory. I am not going to comment on it, it is all in Wikipedia.
