Celil Refik Kaya - 1977 Rodriguez

Here is the second movement, “Reyna,” from Celil Refik Kaya’s new suite Miriam & Leon’s Daughters. In this performance, Celil is playing a fantastic 1977 Miguel Rodriguez with a Cedar top and Palo Rosa back and sides. This guitar has a very interesting story in how it came to us. When it first showed up, we noticed there was no date or signature on the label. We sent it down to the Romeros to see if they knew anything about it, and Pepe Sr. immediately recognized the guitar as one Rodriguez originally made for him which he named “La Pastosa.” Read more about this guitar’s story and learn why the label was never edited on the product page here. Meanwhile, enjoy Celil’s beautiful and energetic composition on this wonderful instrument!
