Ciudad sin Seuño
Enrique Morente with Lagartija Nick from the album Omega. A wonderful mix of cante jondo with rock. It builds to a chilling climax. The video is very creative and fitting for the lyrics which are from Federico Garcia Lorcas poem Cuidad sin Sueño (The Dreamless City).The poem translated to English is also quite chilling, ideal for a conte jondo with plenty of duende. This song reminds me of the skeletal song Bells for the Poet or Companas por el Poeta (video below) from Morente’s Lorca release. I am unsure of who the female singer is inBells for the Poet, it could be his daughter Estrella Morente (whom I have read sings often with him) or The Bulgarian Choir who sing with him on the song Song of the Soul from the same album Lorca.
