Radio Song: Gaspar Sanz's "Canarios"

Heard on 102.1 KDFC out of San Francisco on Wednesday:
17th century University of Salamanca professor Gaspar Sanz's "Canarios" for the classical baroque guitar. Video. A fun, lively piece to drive through the Golden Gate National Recreation Area to.
Super bonus trivia: The canarie, apparently, in addition to being a bird, is/was a dance from the Renaissance and Baroque eras. Both bird and dance are named after the Canary Islands, their place of origin.
