Speaking of Iberian (Spanish and Portuguese) Baroque music, here is a harpsichord piece by Carlos Seixas. He's my favorite Portuguese composer. This piece represents the energetic and percussive style of Iberian keyboard music that I love so much.
They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. Going their way they went and wept: scattering their seed. But returning, they shall come with joyfulness: bringing their sheaves with them.

Wow. This might sound weird, but the harpsichord (in this song especially) reminds me of the mandolin. Mandolin is one of my favorite instruments and the speed and energy of this piece remind me of Chris Thile's mandolin playing. Particularly a song that I could not find on youtube (On Ice). However, I did find these two. I know it's a stretch but:
