Strunz & Farah - Mosaico (1982)

Strunz & Farah is a guitar duo with an eclectic sound that could be described as a cross between world fusion and flamenco. Strunz & Farah have set off a chain reaction in the world of the guitar. Jorge Strunz and Ardeshir Farah, originally from Costa Rica and Iran respectively, have pioneered a new expression for the acoustic guitar. Bringing the cultural riches of their native lands to their highly virtuosic, rhythmic, and improvisation-rich original compositions, these "fieras de la guitarra" ("wild animals of the guitar") have profoundly influenced guitarists everywhere, creating a new genre.

Jorge, given his first guitar at age 6, grew up in an Afro-Caribbean milieu playing flamenco and classical guitar, incorporating jazz, Afro-Latin and Latin American folk forms. Ardeshir Farah was raised in Iran and England, and also played guitar since childhood, focusing on popular music and improvisation. Both began performing professionally in their early teens.

The travels of his diplomat father brought Jorge to the United States, while Ardeshir arrived as a student of architecture. Fortune and music brought the two together, when Ardeshir came to see Jorge perform with his Latin jazz-fusion group Caldera (which put out 4 albums on Capitol). When the two guitarists subsequently met, it was instantly obvious that they were brothers of the guitar from opposite ends of the earth. They quickly prepared a repertoire, began performing, and recorded their first project, 'Mosaico' in 1980. ~ Buy It at Lowest Price on Amazon

Strunz & Farah is a guitar duo with an eclectic sound that could be described as a cross between world fusion and flamenco.

Jorge Strunz, born in Costa Rica, and Ardeshir Farah, hailing from Iran, met in the United States in 1979. Having both played guitar professionally since their early teens, they soon teamed up and released their first album, the self-produced Mosaico, in 1980. Since then they have played on numerous recordings together, releasing several albums as a duo and collaborating with the likes of Rubén Blades and L. Subramaniam. Jorge Strunz was once recommended by friend Paco de Lucía as a replacement for Al Di Meola in The Guitar Trio. ~

In 1979, Costa Rican guitarist Jorge Strunz met and decided to collaborate with Iranian guitarist Ardeshir Farah, which resulted in Mosaico, their first release, recorded in 1980. The music is totally acoustic guitar-oriented, the two guitarists drawing heavily from their individual backgrounds. Their roots, combined with the freedom of expression afforded by an improvisational medium, allowed the pair to create an original repertoire. On Mosaico, the duo are joined by violin virtuoso L. Subraminiam on two pieces; and the exciting guitar artistry of Omaya Alghanium from Kuwait joins them on "Mandala". The inspiring musicianship of Cuban Luis Conte on percussion and bassist Gregg Lee is heard throughout. Strunz and Farah hope that the music, in some small way, serves planetary brotherhood and peace. ~
