Manuel Castillo (b. 1930), a Spanish composer born in Seville. Castillo's compositional style is more in the Franco-Russian
school, particularly in his more ambitious works where he seems a Hispanic successor
to Prokofiev. Castillo's music seldom refers overtly to Spanish popular melodies
and styles, but occasionally something peeks through, most often in a dance
rhythm.
