Paco de Lucía, 1987. Solo by *Paco de Lucía*.

A minera from Siroco; slow, dark mining-song harmony with spare phrasing.

Callejón del Muro is a minera from Siroco, a slow, dark form tied to the mining songs of eastern Andalusia. Paco de Lucía plays it with spare phrasing, letting the minera's haunting harmonies carry much of the emotion. The piece moves slowly and deliberately, each phrase carefully placed. It shows how powerful his restraint could be when the form called for it, and how much drama a guitarist can draw from harmony alone, without leaning on speed. Listen for the resonant, unresolved chords that give the minera its sombre character, and notice how he lets them ring before adding the next phrase.
