Strunz & Farah - Strunz & Farah Live (1997)

spotify:album:0nOhPKkkIz7LaAvpCfmQ1n
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strunz_%26_Farah
I have 4 acoustic guitar based albums that I love in equal measure, what they share is that they have some jazz influences as well as music from other cultures.
Strunz and Farah are Nuevo flamenco players that have the chops of Paco DeLucia and Al DiMeola and mixes music from Spain, The Middle East and South America with Jazz improvisation.
The music is passionate no holds barred acoustic music. It certainly will not be to everyone's liking due to the insanity this is certainly not easy listening.
Highlights include Silva, they have totally transformed this live - and Bola due to its passion. For me this album opened up so much new music, it was the first world fusion album I really loved and also took me on a journey of exploring Nuevo Flamenco.
