From the Album: Adivinanza de la guitarra (track #17)
This work is nicknamed ‘Pavana’. Barrios composed it to celebrate the birth of his granddaughter, Cristina.
The melody recurs in the works of Barrios and is derived from a children’s song that they sung playing games in Granada during the late 19th century.
