Rumba Flamenco

The passion of flamenco and Latin rhythms unite to create a sensual and soulful musical fusion

Putumayo presents Rumba Flamenco, a collection of upbeat music with influences from Spanish flamenco, salsa, and pop. Popularized worldwide by the Gipsy Kings, rumba flamenco (also known as gypsy rumba) is a blend of flamenco with Afro-Cuban rhythms. Rumba Flamenco brings attention to some of the many artists who share the same musical traditions as the Gipsy Kings. Gypsy rumba originated in the Catalan regions of northeastern Spain and southern France. This accessible and upbeat style of flamenco has attracted fans across the globe. Rumba Flamenco features music that reflects the soul of the gypsies, the passion of flamenco, and the irresistible beats of Cuba.

Anne-Sophie Mutter – Modern

This is certainly one of the great collections of modern music, and it's much to Mutter's credit that she plays this music. She's not just a babe, though that's frequently how she's packaged on CD covers. She can really play, with tremendous fire, for instance, on the great Bartok 2d, or subtlety and nuance on the Berg. The two Lutoslawski's call for rapid changes in style, perhaps Mutter's greatest strength. The lesser known works on this set are really worth it, too--the Moret is dazzling, the Rihm mysterious and beautiful.

Eastwind: Japanese Shakuhachi Music

Masayuki Koga's powerful shakuhachi sounds will bring you face to face with your unadorned true self. They are nature made manifest in all it's complete force and abundance. At times sweet and serene, at other times like a gale blowing right through you. Koga stands out above all the masters, incorporating and transcending the traditional. This is the first and last in Shakuhachi music--the real thing.

Many recordings of Japanese shaukaushi bamboo flute are available; thus I was surprised to find Masayuki Koga's album Eastwind still being produced. But then, there is a very good reason: it is a great album of both traditional and his own contemporary pieces. One must be highly talented and inventive to do both well; Koga is a master. The sound quality of the album, a remastered anthology of his LPs, is excellent, owing to the original studio engineering and the sense of chamber depth. The use of rice paper in package design is a nice touch. The classic pieces--Distant Cry of Deer, Sashi no Kyolu, Rokudan, and Zangetsu--are unforgiving; any flaw in breathing technique, sensitivity, and rhythmic flow is readily apparent. Koga, who was trained in both the Kinko and Tozan schools of shakuhashi, performs these works in grand style. His own works maintain the traditional sound but with modern flair in phrasing. One track is a duet with koto. Such slow music produces timelessness, tranquility, and awareness. Koga is a musical sorcerer.

Gino D'Auri - Flamenco Mystico

Guitarist Gino D'Auri was born in Rome, the grandson of a gypsy. He began studying classical guitar, but while in his teens, D'Auri was "traumatized by flamenco" when he saw the movie Sombrero with Jose Greco, the legendary flamenco dancer, and Geronimo Villarino, one of the all-time great flamenco guitarists. D'Auri began playing flamenco music and investigating the rich cultures that fed the tradition. In 1967, D'Auri moved to the Los Angeles area, where he played in the flamenco clubs. In 1976, he recorded with Caldera, a groundbreaking world fusion band, on their self-titled album. In 1980, Hearts of Space's Stephen Hill met D'Auri while Hill was producing a film soundtrack, and Hill was asked to produce D'Auri's first album, Nuevos Caminos (translated "New Paths"), on harpist Georgia Kelly's label (Heru Records). In 1984, the album was remastered by Sonic Atmosphere and re-released as Passion Play. According to Hill, D'Auri created a unique sound by amplifying his Japanese Takemine guitar and shaping the sound through a reverb unit. In the late 1980s, D'Auri played on two albums by Keiko Matsui, a Japanese new age/world fusion artist. D'Auri's next solo recording, Flamenco Mystico, was with Hearts of Space/World Class, in 1992, followed by Flamenco: Passion & Soul in 1997. D'Auri has toured with famed dancer Jose Greco and often plays at flamenco restaurants in Southern California, such as Los Angeles' El Cid and Lare's in Santa Monica.

Launching the new Hearts of Space World Class label is the world class flamenco guitarist Gino D'Auri. Gino takes off from the traditional flamenco forms, saturates them with authentic emotion and a thoroughly modern digital sound. This album includes his version of a much-loved piece by Francisco Tarrega, songs that evoke the time of the Moorish culture in Spain, dance-style flamenco songs and a tribute to the late gypsy guitarist Sabicas.

This music is unbelievably uplifting. For nearly decades Ive tried to find the "perfect" blend of world musical styles, largely in vain, despite the vast array of "fusion" and new age masters. After a really long time (way back in 1980 when I heard to the Moscow symphony render an Indian raga based symphony), this is the only CD that made my hairs stand on edge by its incredible blend of Flamenco with Middle Eastern and Indian musical textures woven in a unique, mature matrix.
