“Spanish Caravan” is the first single from ‘Memento.’

“Gothe’s debut single—a beautiful, deeply personal cover.” – Guitar Player Magazine

"I love it! It's tough to cover Doors songs because the originals are so iconic. But Ian wasn’t afraid to stick to the original format, and did a great job of capturing the feel. There's a new flamenco/rock movement happening now in Europe - maybe Ian will lead the way!" - Robby Krieger, guitarist, The Doors

Born to an Armenian family in Iran, Gothe spent much of his adolescence traveling across continents in search of a home. A childhood filled with loss and loneliness provided the impetus for Gothe to continually turn to music as his friend and confidant. His initial inspiration came from a recording of The Doors “Spanish Caravan”, a song well known for its complex and compelling guitar riffs that still capture audience’s attention today. Gothe was not immune, and his petition for a guitar of his own was driven by his desire to play those well-worn, haunting lines with ease. After Gothe and his hard-won guitar left Iran before the revolution, the 14-year-old boy lived with family in England and later made his way to The United States finally settling in Los Angeles, where he lives today.

[Verse 1]
Carry me Caravan take me away
Take me to Portugal, take me to Spain
Andalusia with fields full of grain
I have to see you again and again
Take me, Spanish Caravan
Yes, I know you can

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
Trade winds find Galleons lost in the sea
I know where treasure is waiting for me
Silver and gold in the mountains of Spain
I have to see you again and again
Take me, Spanish Caravan
Yes, I know you can
