WYD11 "Way of the Cross" 8th Station: Damian Maria



I got this message from the actual performer after posting a comment on a different youtube video asking what the piece was:

"Dear friend, I'm Damian Maria, who sang the song during the Way of the cross. It is not a song, but a kind of flamenco called 'saeta', which is sung during the Holy Week in the south of Spain, Andalucia, where flamenco was born. All the best. And thanks to the Lord for He touched many hearts trough my 'saeta'."

In the video you can hear the eerie silence in the background. This was one of the most memorable parts of the entire Way of the Cross.
