Antonio Ruiz\-Pipó was a versatile musician whose compositions display both Andalusian and Parisian influences as well as reflecting his own life story of non\-conformism coupled with an infinite love for humanity. This programme reveals his inclination towards South American music, and in the duets Homenaje a Villa\-Lobos and the quartet Américas he looks towards the habanera and samba (as well as a little boogiewoogie). Ancient sounds from a faraway land echo in the Homenaje a Antonio de Cabezón, while Cuatro para Cuatro and A Sevilla are pure Andalusian Ruiz\-Pipó in terms of their colours, rhythms and narrative.
