Search - Various, Guitar Adam Tully :: Nueva York: Guitar Solos and Latin Songs

NEW!!! Adam Tully's latest release contains 17 tracks and 67 minutes of guitar music recorded in New York and in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 2000 and 2001. While some of pieces come from the traditional guitar repertoire (Bach, Albéniz, Villa-Lobos), many of them have not been heard outside of Latin America. Most of the Latin guitar solos come from the Tango and Folk traditions of Argentina and include arrangements by Anibal Arias, Jorge Morel, and Eduardo Falú. The Latin songs were recorded with local New York singers Abraham Rodríguez and Eduardo Parra; Tully sings lead on his own arrangement of "Entre a mi pago sin Golpear." The songs reflect a New York perspective on Latin American music: Afro-Cuban mixed with Nuyorican and Doo-wop; Argentinean folk redone with modern harmonies and different instrumentation. Tully's selection is pretty diverse this time around: from Bach and Brahms to Latin songs, a flamenco solo, and even an original arrangement of the Jazz standard "I thought about you." Such contrasting choices are what prompted critic Nilda Urquiza (Mundo Guitarrístico) to recognize Tully's "versatility and commendable performance of works that are as diverse as they are aesthetically involved."
