Guitar Solo by Octaviano Yates
5662 Mexican Dance Habaneras 10
As a complete novelty, a record by Senor Yafies, who is considered the best guitar player in Mexico, is presented.
Many of those who listen to this sweet-toned record will find themselves regretting that the guitar, once so much in vogue, has of late years lost favor in Northern countries. In Mexico and the countries of South America, however, it is still a favorite for accompaniments and solo playing; and in Germany there are signs of a decided reaction in its favor. No doubt the revival of interest in folkseng is responsible for much of this, as the guitar seems especially adapted for accompanying these songs.
