Enriquez de Valderrabano

Enríquez de Valderrábano (c.1500-after 1557) was a Spanish vihuelist. The details of his life are almost completely unknown. That he may have lived in great poverty is suggested by a motto at the end of his large collection of music Libro de música de vihuela intitulado Silva de sirenas (Book of music for the vihuela entitled Forest of the Sirens), published in 1547 in seven books. The preface to the work also suggests that he worked at the court of Count of Miranda, Fancisco de Zúñiga, and says that he lived in Peñaranda del Duero. Read more on Last.fm
