Great CD by a great Peruvian guitarist

03/28/2000

(4 out of 5 stars)

"The only reason this CD does not rate five stars is because the sound quality is not as great as it could be, but this is because Raul Garcia recorded this album in 1988 in a Swiss church. Still, it is an enjoyable CD to listen to and several of the cuts here are unavailable elsewhere. For those of you who admire Raul Garcia's superb guitar arrangements, try to find his latest CD called "Guitarra del Peru." It was recorded in Miami, Florida, and contains new and improved interpretations of songs that appear on this CD, as well as two tracks that are just unbelievable: "Espinas Punzantes" and a three-guitar arrangement for the Peruvian huayno "Ramis." Any one of these two discs are worth their price, and it is so gratifying that people hear and appreciate Peruvian music through this great guitarist."

"I listen to this musician for years and I thought that two people were playing, until I saw Dr. Garcia Zarate on TV, and to my surprice it was only one player making all that wonderfull music, he plays lead guitar, bass and rythm guitar all at the same time. I can listen to this music for hours."
