Fiddle Tune Tuesdays: Week 6 - La Partida by Carlos Bonnet

We're back for week 6 of Fiddle Tune Tuesdays!

This week we're bringing you La Partida, a Venezuelan waltz written by Carlos Bonnet (October 29, 1892 – January 16, 1983). Bonnet was a Venezuelan composer and conductor who wrote many beautiful songs, though none so lastingly popular (as far as we can gather) as La Partida.

We decided to keep it local for this week's selection, with a tune written by West Coast mandolinist John Reischman & recorded with his band John Reischman and the Jaybirds. It's called Salt Spring, and it's a common tune at jams - we're far from the first to cover it!

This week, we’re traveling to Galicia!

About ten years ago, Laura lived in Galicia for a year, and it is one of her favorite places in the world. There's a magic to the land, the mythology, the music, and the language. I hope I can return and visit, but until I can, I want to dedicate this song to the marvelous people I met in Galicia.
