A fez-flavored, fast-footed traditional dance--speed-pick it with twang and verve! Easy? No. Worth it? Absolutely!
An excellent cover of "Valle E Pogradecit" appears on 3 Mustapha 3, Shopping (Ace Records Ltd., 1987), which I used in making this tablature. I make no claim to copyrighted elements (if any) contributed by 3 Mustapha 3's arrangement.
