Flamenco Sensation Nocy, conjures up images of travel and romance on this sizziling EarthTone debut. His love and mastery of the guitar is apparent in the translation from string to song, as he wisks you away to sunny destinations, full of intimate and romantic possibilities. dance to the lightning-fire of "Mi Familia" or be swooned by the warmth of "My Love".
"Flames of Spain would be categorized with New Age or Nuevo Flamenco music, if you could find it in record stores -- and it would be superior to 90 percent of what you'd find in that bin. For those of you looking for Flamenco Puro, this isn't it. It's wild and rhythmic Nuevo Flamenco with far more of Latin America than Spain. In addition to the guitar, there is bass, percussion, and some vocals. At times the sound runs toward rock or occasionally borders on a funky groove. It's always exuberant--- with that "uncontrolled" beauty that can only be produced by a master of the art. Although Nocy is a brilliant guitarist, his artistry isn't limited to technical brilliance -- this CD is infused with fire and passion. Several reviewers here report having discovered Nocy in Las Vegas and being amazed at his concert performance. I believe that his concert would be something to treasure and look forward to attending a live performance in the future, but the music comes across very powerfully in this recording, too. I had never heard of Nocy, or listened to him perform, before buying this CD unheard from Amazon. This is a CD worth taking a chance on -- it's amazing work."
A unique experience in music listening.
