If you had to invent a composite composer interested on setting Lorca to music.
The composer would lean left politically and be interested in vocal music, but also in musical styles that use the human voice in unconventional ways. He (it would be a he) would make music in an eclectic, innovative style, with multi-cultural influences, including innovative use of percussion. He would be interested not only in Spain but in Latin America. He would be likely to admire Debussy and Falla. Likely to be born between 1898 and 1930.
The profile of someone singing in vernacular styles. Still likely to be a man with left-leaning politics. He would be born around 1945 in Spain and also sing the poetry of other canonical poets. He would be either a flamenco singer or a singer-songwriter, but in either case someone with a strong "literary" orientation.
