Description

Each of the three movements of Canciones por las Americas reflects a different aspect of Latin American culture.  Noche de lluvia (S-136a or S-220 ssaa) is the most traditional, having a definite Spanish flavor.  Sensemaya (S-136b) echoes the African heritage of the text’s Cuban author.  Olvido (S-136c) is of a more contemporary nature, expressing the inward psychological orientation of the modern world. The suite is sold in three separate octavos. 

A full recording of the suite is found on CD-04:
