Composed by Ernesto Lecuona in 1927, "Gitanerías" is the fourth movement of his iconic "Suite Andalucía". This vibrant piano work blends Cuban rhythmic sensibilities with Andalusian flamenco traditions, featuring passionate melodies, percussive dance rhythms, and improvisational flair. Lecuona, often called Cuba's Gershwin, created a defining piece of Latin American classical repertoire that evokes the energy of Spanish gitano culture through its virtuosic passages and emotional depth.
