Mi Niño Curro
Paco de Lucía, 1987. Solo by Paco de Lucía.
A rondeña in the Montoya tradition, dedicated to his son and played with restraint.
Mi Niño Curro is a rondeña in the Montoya tradition, dedicated to Paco de Lucía's son and played with restraint. The piece uses the rondeña's resonant tuning and slow pace, with rich chords and tender melodic lines. His playing is gentle and affectionate, a clear contrast to his fiery showpieces. The track connects his work to Ramón Montoya's legacy while adding a personal warmth. It is one of the quietest pieces on Siroco, and one of the most affecting. Listen for the ringing bass notes and the soft melodic passages, which give the piece a lullaby-like calm.
