Fuego de Luna
Fuego de Luna
Product Description
This album is the 5th release from Andre Feriante, classical/Flamenco guitarist. This album is a sampling from his previous 4 CD's, with one previously unreleased track ("Fuego de Luna"). The instrumenation is all solo Spanish guitar with the exception of 2 tracks which contain vocals. The songs included in this CD are his most Spanish and Mediterranean in flavor. The Utne Reader states, "Feriante's solo guitar blends classical & Spanish styles in a manner guaranteed to open the hardest heart". Some commentary from previous reviews from fans of his other CD's include: "This is a wonderful example of what can be achieved with music to relax to-it's calming, intelligent, soporific--everything I have been looking for to work and relax to. The world's a better place since finding this".
