Francisco Gonzalez - Una Tormenta De Amor
(September 24, 2011)
Specializing in the Arpa Jarocha, Gonzalez is known not only as a founding former-member of Los Lobos, but also for his time with Teatro Campesino, who travelled alongside César Chávez on behalf of United Farm Workers.
In the full video recording, Gonzalez explains “Una Tormenta de Amor” was first collected by Charles Lummis on wax cylinder, as sung by Francisca De La Guerra Dibblee (California, Early 1900’s).
We hope you enjoy this excerpt from the Francisco Gonzalez performance at the Folk Music Center.

Born in Osaka, Yukiko Matsuyama was classically trained in the koto from age 9. In 1993 Matsuyama moved to Los Angeles and began blending the traditional sound of the koto with western music. Yukiko’s playing has been featured on Japanese television, Grammy award winning recordings, and performances throughout the US and Japan.
