Buen Camino - solo cittern

Buen Camino, composed and performed by Louis Bingham, solo cittern. This track and others can be bought via Bandcamp: https://louisbingham.bandcamp.com/alb...

This piece was inspired by and written in memory of a six day walk from Vigo to Santiago de Compostela, through the beautiful Galician countryside along the final stretch of the ancient pilgrim's route known as the Way of St. James. The melody is somewhat influenced by the Xota, a prominent form of dance tune in the traditional music of Galicia.

Recorded at The Barn Studio by Peter Bingham.
Video edited by Louis Bingham. Thanks to Griselda Sanderson for the use of her computer and video editing software.
Louis plays an archtop cittern by Fylde, tuned GCGDG with octave strings on the lower three courses. https://louisbingham.com/   / louisbinghammusic
