CARLOS MONTOYA - Soleares

Artist:  Carlos Montoya
Album: Solearas
Year:  2004
Genre:  Spanish Guitar / Classical Guitar

Classical guitar is a bit of a departure from the typical music I rant about here.  I won’t say that I listen to it all the time, but I do enjoy it immensely and I can’t express my admiration for the talent these artists have.  Carlos Montoya is a favorite of mine because of the energy he creates.  He has the ability to make the music come to life and paints vivid soundscapes with only two hands and an acoustic guitar. Very few could compete with his precision skill and the sheer passion he exuded.  The man played intensely, intertwining beautiful melodies and pure, over-the-top speed that made you question how is that even possible?  He was just an absolute gift to the music world.  

Listen to "Farruca" here.
