Cool story. Thank You for sharing it. I wish I could have been there too!
Many years ago we heard her singing and playing on an ancient small organillo in the streets of Toledo with a lot of people listening. We bought some CDs then.
It's like always, Bill, you're playing out of my playlists, beside the newies for me, thanks!

Is that a clarinet I hear?
Compelling. Simple. Hard to pin down. A mi me gusta.

Oboe and clarinet? wonderful
Gorgeous
The clarinet and accordion make it sound very Celtic... but with a twist - several twists, actually!
That's when the Wikipedia bit on the side comes in handy: so there's a woman from Madrid who studied traditional Swedish instruments and recorded an album that features instruments from...everywhere!
Look at that list: nyckelharpa (Sweden), Celtic harp, psaltery (medieval - Greek origin), santur (Iranian dulcimer), oud, medieval lute, tar (Persian string instrument), Turkish ney (a flute), kaval (another flute used in the Balkans), bagpipe, Spanish guitarrillo, hurdy-gurdy (Spanish/French/Celtic/Hungarian) and Greek lyra!
Wonderful!

I think that's the hurdy gurdy giving you that impression.
[Edit: my bad, evidently that's a nyckelharpa, not a hurdy gurdy. Similar sounds though!]
Thought was lorrena.
Nice. A strong 7 for me.
Thanks a lot, Bill.
