Luis del Olmo

GREEN, I WANT YOU GREEN

Luis del Olmo and Luis Santana present this beautiful recital in homage to Federico García Lorca, accompanied on the piano by maestro Luis Carbajo. With one of the most unmistakable voices in radio history, pieces will be heard that blend music and some of the most famous works of the Granadian poet, such as "They Killed Him on a Summer Afternoon," "Moon Romance," "The Unfaithful Wife," or "The Young Men of Monleón Who Leave," alternating with songs performed by the baritone from Zamora and projections with images of Lorca's life.
