Johannes Linstead
Guitarra Del Fuego
The Story
Johannes Linstead's third release, "Guitarra Del Fuego", with all its fiery flair, is beautiful and surprisingly tender nonetheless. The occasional gypsy violin and passionate rhythm and percussion portray dream-like visions and fantasy-laden romantic themes, nicely offset by fast-paced flourishes blazing from Johannes' well-tempered guitar. While occasional melancholy and pathos tug the heartstrings of the listener, this music brims with life, joy and happiness. "The charts are stacked with odds-on favorites, but Johannes is a sure to nose ahead in the race for nouveau flamenco glory."
