You can also listen to some extracts on iTunes... some of the falsetas from the bits I've listened to are in the Encuentro book, especially the Seguiriya and the Tangos de Granada.

Listened to the samples, sounds really promising.
His first didn't do much for me, his 2nd was 'wow' for me.. hope this 3rd album would be 'wow-er"

oh oh oh ohooohley! I like about his style that it is so much guitar and so few arrangement and editing. <3

Just listened to the samples.. Amazon is so cruel... uploading samples before release :(((
sounds awesome. Very interesting compositions on it. I especially like the tangos de granada which he showed maybe 8 years back in a workshop :) aaawww old feelings warm up my heart.

My rating:

2 out of 10 points.

Why: Just average playing/composition and massive reuse of older material. Too many tracks with baby voices.

The samples promised what the complete CD doesn´t have.. Too bad.
