Search - Yussi & Django :: Bandidos de Amor

Yussi & Django play an exotic and energetic style of instrumental music that is spiced with fiery improvisation in the tradition of Eastern European Gypsy, Spanish flamenco and American jazz players. Their exciting, virtuosic playing is captured on this CD, accompanied by some of Los Angeles' finest young musicians on fretless bass and percussion. Their original compositions blend Spanish and Middle Eastern guitar melodies with powerful Latin and Persian rhythms, and the result is an intriguing and playful sound similar to the Gypsy Kings, Ottmar Liebert, Strunz and Farah (with whom both have studied), and even John McLaughlin. This is an incredible musical partnership, utilizing fluid ensemble lines and intelligent harmonies to showcase their amazing technical abilities. Theirs is a music with sweetness, soul, precision, and youthful energy. Featuring "Yussi" (Flamenco Guitar) and Pejman Hadadi (Percussion) from "Axiom of Choice" Instrumentation: Nylon String Guitar, Steel String Guitar, Mandolin, Tombak, Daf, Bass, Cello, Percussion, Congas, Cajon, Drums.
