Daughtrey-Cry, The (SP)-2V/C/X/4M/2T/P - Product Information
The Cry by Nathan Daughtrey emulates the passionate melismatic singing and sparse guitar playing found in flamenco music. The virtuosic singing is emulated throughout the ensemble in long flourishes that are full of twists and turns. The antiphonal castanet players help bring in the flamenco elements to the piece, as well as the sounds of flamenco dancers tapping, stomping and clapping in rhythm.
