Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Go to a site like Amazon and do a search for Spanish guitar, then look through those for ideas!. One hint would be to look for collections by various musicians so you get a few performers and composers from that collection of songs on the cd!.

also do searches for ideas at AllMusic!.

And search at Last!.fm for songs (I'm listening to Asturias by John Williams now & it is beautiful)!.


Good Luck! Hope this helps!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Try Flamenco!! It's amazing!!

Flamenco is a Spanish musical genre with strong, rhythmic undertones and is often accompanied with a similarly impassioned style of dance characterized by its powerful yet graceful execution, as well as its intricate hand and footwork!. Flamenco embodies a complex musical and cultural tradition!. Although considered part of the culture of Spain in general, flamenco actually originates from one region: Andalusia!. However, other areas, mainly Extremadura and Murcia, have contributed to the development of several flamenco musical forms, and a great number of renowned flamenco artists have been born in other territories of the state!. The roots of flamenco are not precisely known, but it is generally acknowledged that flamenco grew out of the unique interplay of native Arabic, Andalusian, Islamic, Sephardic, and Gypsy cultures that existed in Andalusia prior to and after the Reconquest!. Latin American and especially Cuban influences have also been important in shaping several flamenco musical forms!.
