Zambra by Juan Serrano Guitar Solo - Digital Sheet Music

I hope you will enjoy this note-for-note transcription of the wonderful Zambra by the greatFlamenco guitarist, Juan Serrano, from his 1962 Elektra recording Ole, La Mano! The Zambra isa beautiful flamenco form that has the strongest Arabic influence. As it is typical for Flamencoguitarists to improvise and change their pieces with subsequent performances, Juan Serrano’sZambra evolved over the span of his career; the Ole, La Mano! recording being the first of severalvariations of the piece. A second version appeared on the 1967 RCA recording The Flashing,Glittering World of Flamenco Guitar under the title Zambra Maroqui. Serrano’s Zambra was thenintroduced on the 1987 Soundboard TV DVD and then later featured on the 1994 Mel Bayinstructional video Juan Serrano Flamenco Guitar (released on DVD in 2010). In 1997, Serranoreleased his transcription of the then current version of Zambra in the Mel Bay publication Kingof the Flamenco Guitar under the title "Fantasy (Zambra)." It is my fondness of the 1962 Ole, LaMano! recording that inspired me to transcribe this particular rendition of Serrano’s Zambra, atranscription which had not before been released to the public.
