Flamenco!
The fusion of traditional flamenco with modern influences is at the heart and soul of Gabriella, a vibrant original work by Miguel Espinoza’s Fusion. Miguel is a renowned Spanish flamenco guitarist who has dedicated his life to mastering the art of flamenco guitar. Born in Cartagena, Spain, Miguel is one of the most respected flamenco guitarists in the world. Gabriella celebrates the rich cultural heritage of Andalusia, Spain, in this original modern work featuring spectacular percussion and gorgeous cello seasoned with Howard Levy’s (Béla Fleck) harmonica and David Balakrishnan’s (Turtle Island Quartet) violin. Recorded in pure DSD256 at Octave Studios, the sound, and music come alive as never before.
