"A Spanish Piece" is a short track from Pink Floyd's Soundtrack from the Film More album,[1][2] running for just a minute and four seconds. It is the first Pink Floyd song to be credited solely to guitarist David Gilmour.
Music
It is an instrumental using the typical pasodoble-style flamenco guitar riff (though the film is set on Ibiza, where traditional folk music is not flamenco) accompanied by comically accented vocalisations in the background by Roger Waters, in which he can be heard drunkenly lusting after a woman, threatening someone and whispering, "Pass the tequila, Manuel".
Personnel
- David Gilmour — Spanish guitar, bass drum and vocalizations
- Roger Waters - vocalizations
