Strunz & Farah - Rio de Colores (2003)

Genre: Jazz Fusion, World Fusion, Instrumental Virtuoso

The well-known and talented acoustic duo Strunz and Farah's 2003 release Rio De Colores displays their original blend of flamenco, Afro-Latin and Latin folk, Middle Eastern and jazz forms. "Fuente Vieja" was inspired by the guitar music of yesteryear, based on the Spanish tango flamenco rhythm. "Bribri" was inspired by the Talamanca coast of Costa Rica, and evokes some rainy impressions absorbed from verdant nature. The theme of "Capricho Nocturno" has a flamenco echo with a romantic undertone and is also based in part on the tango flamenco rhythm. "Vela El Viento" is a fast piece, with the feeling of the wind blowing at your back, while "Bandari" is based on a southern Persian rhythm, with the addition of the virtuosic bouzouki playing of Danny Papkalos. Two Jorge Strunz solo pieces are also noteworthy, "Interludio" and "Estrella Fugaz". ~ Buy It at Lowest Price on Amazon

Strunz & Farah haven't been much of a critics' favorite, although they have many admirers among great musicians, including the legendary Paco de Lucia. Listening to the guitar duo, it's easy to understand both sides. Both players have incredible technique, with bursts of passion. But at the same time, their new flamenco seems like a watered-down version of "real" flamenco. However, if you take Rio de Colores at face value, as an album of instrumentals colored by the Mediterranean, the Middle East, and even Latin America, it's an outstanding piece of work, although more reflective than some of their other albums -- however, the opener, "Matambu," offers plenty of emotion. The title cut flows gently through several moods, and both "Bandari" and "Arabesca" show the links between flamenco and North Africa in the rhythms and melodies. There's no faulting the playing throughout, and the charango offers some lovely Latin touches. So it may not be to everyone's taste, but the fans will love it, and it's one of their best sets to date. ~ Review by Chris Nickson @
