David Shaw-Parker: Noucentisme

[DSPCD003]

My new CD entitled ‘Noucentisme’ is now available.This album features original Mediterranean guitar music with some flamenco, Greek, Italian, Catalan and North African styles along with some laid back guitar based samba, again, attempting to combine a kind of nocturnal café atmosphere with the Sun, sea, wine, olives and al-fresco ambiance of my last albums Euromance and Bistrovia.

Noucentisme - a return to the life and traditions of the Mediterranean - was a phrase coined by the Catalan writer and philosopher Eugenie d’Ors to baptise a group of up and coming young artists in the early twentieth century who drew their inspiration from the beauty and the culture of the land around them - often referred to as The Midi - ie. Catalonia, The Pyrenees, Languedoc, Roussillon, Provence and Italy.
