In 1714, Spanish Baroque guitarist Santiago de Murcia releases a new book. This how-to book teaches readers how to accompany someone on the guitar. Interestingly, it isn't printed on the Iberian Peninsula but in Antwerp, which at the time was part of the Spanish or Southern Netherlands. Whether Santiago himself ever visited Antwerp is uncertain, but in his later works, we find copies of pieces that were only known in this area. This is a tribute to Señor de Murcia (and all things Spanish) during a visit to the Sinjoren.
