From
the Latin musical world, amazing tunes are played by the virtuoso
duo of Luis Salinas with Tomatito, and of Jordi Bonell with Dani
Perez, followed by the precious dreaming jewel of Vicenç Solsona;
then the performance of the Italian Michele Ascolese trio offers a
tribute to his neverending source of inspiration, Latin America.
Last but not least, the Swedish duo of Mats Hedberg & Christer
Häggner describes a suggestive Scandinavian landscape.
70 minutes of great music
that guitar lovers cannot miss, discovering all the chances that
this extraordinary instrument gives.
An amazing collection !
