Nova Menco's second album Flight to Paradise showcases not only the group's creative progression, but also establishes Nova Menco as one of the pre-eminent flamenco-jazz groups in the world. Their success here in the U.S. as well as overseas is a testament to their universal sound which transcends many ethnic and cultural boundaries.
"I heard this band live at the Montreal Jazz Festival this summer and bought the CD. The performance was more lively. The music on the CD is more laid back and is an excellent CD to add to a collection of International music. I found it very easy to listen to. It is an especially good CD to have on while sitting down for dinner with a glass of wine. Enjoy!"

"The music is very easy on the ears and mine. Music is very similar to that of Liebert which is that Santa Fe atmosphere. They do have a Spanish sound much different from Mexican music. Its as if the guitars are talking to you. If you can get people that listen to Rock N Roll only to listen to this and say they like it, there is something to the music. If you love Acoustics Guitars, this is it. I will say that this music has me working 1/3 faster without noticing. At dinner parties Nova Menco and Liebert have got get reviews from my guest."
"One of the best groups in Montreal jazz festival. terrific sound, melody, rythm. Can not wait for more CDs from them."
If you liked Gypsy Fusion, you'll like this.

"I love both CDs. I loved Gypsy Fusion enough that I was excited to see this one come out, although I feared it wouldn't be as good as the first one. I'm happy to say my fears were unfounded. This one is just as much fun to listen to. Sure, call it flamenco-pop if you want to, but it's still a blast."
A Taste of Spain!

"Nova Menco makes me feel as if I'm in a Spanish paradise. This is truly beautiful guitar music.
I've even taken this with me when I get a massage. I just shut my eyes, and I am somewhere beautiful."
