author: Lisa FraserThis was a great mix of flamenco songs. I especially loved Burnin' Up! I will definitely buy another of Roger's CDs.
Haunting.The music on this cd is full of beautiful haunting melodies.
author: The Globe and MailThe song Misterio on this cd has a repetative haunting melody sad and lingering.Summerwine is full of sunshine and sea air while Azulejos burns with latin passion.There is a lot of improvisation and this gives the cd a 'live' sound.Truly,like an afternoon in a courtyard in the south of Spain.
Beautiful.I love it!
