This album is a must have for nouveau flamenco music !\n\nFrom the Artist\n\n\"Performing is like meditation,\" Johannes says, \"With total mental, physical and spiritual concentration, the music emerges pure and without restraint. It’s heaven.\" -Johannes Linstead\n\nAbout the Artist\n\nJohannes Linstead performs his original compositions with virtuoso speed and brilliance. A master of both the acoustic and bass guitars, Johannes is also an accomplished pianist whose musical inspiration has ranged from Mozart to rock ‘n roll. While he is a veteran of rock band touring, his work is deeply rooted in the South American and Caribbean cultures he experienced while on a spiritual journey of personal and artistic awakening undertaken in his early 20’s. Johannes’ music represents a style of guitar expression that Johannes calls \"nouveau flamenco,\" one that combines the familiar stylings of classic flamenco, gypsy, salsa and Brazilian with infectious contemporary rhythms and hypnotic melodies. And while his compositions are fresh and new, the recognizable energy and mood of Latin guitar emerges as it subtly merges with piano, horns, flute and percussion. Johannes’ album Sol Luna Tierra (Sun, Moon, Earth) marked his debut as a solo recording artist as well as his premiere with Real Music, the Sausalito, California-based record label. The album achieved #17 on Billboard’s New Age Chart. Kiss the Earth, another Billboard charting success, followed, with new elements including the Greek bazouki, Arabic dumbek, udu drum, cello and vocalizations. On Johannes' third release, Guitarra del Fuego, he is joined by twelve musicians from around the world. Rhythms on the album include Cuban rumba, salsa, cha cha cha and guajira as well as world rhythms and even a samba – all based around the nouveau flamenco sound. Integrating sublime melodies with technical virtuosity, Johannes wows audiences as he performs, often pushing the capability of the guitar to its limit.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B00007JGQA\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B00007JGQA.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Johannes Linstead|Joe Orlando|Tom Bigas\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Audio cd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Individually inspected: Guaranteed to play perfectly or your money back.
