Saturnal Ohana : Thomas Walsh.
New cd "Dans les Jardins des Hespérides"
Under the spell of Hesperus
The guitar music of Maurice Ohana (1913-1992) betrays the complex interweaving of a man, his music and his world, in its most quintessential form. The nakedness of the guitar leaves no place to hide the impulses that fired his spirit and that fed his hunger for an idealised and eternal Andalusia that could be his abiding refuge. Considering himself Spanish by birth and French by adoption, Ohana was actually born in Casablanca in 1913 of a father from Gibraltar-of Sephardic descent and British citizenship-and a Spanish mother. His worldview, however, developed through an imagined notion of an Andalusia that stretched beyond his own personal world and far further afield than the more widely understood contemporary borders.
