Emboscados

Amancio Prada has put some of Spain’s poetic tradition to music; his songs about poems of San Juan de la Cruz, Rosalía de Castro, Federico García Lorca, Álvaro Cunqueiro, and many others. In Emboscados, originally released as an album in 1994, Prada makes his most personal musical offering yet: a timeless and intimate epic, a song with nostalgia for the future. This edition, the first that combines a book and CD, has been musically revised by the author and features illustrations and a glossary by Juan Carlos Mestre.

Amancio Prada is one of Spanish music’s key figures of the second half of the 20th century. He studied sociology at the Sorbonne, and also learned music theory, composition, and performance in Paris.
