Album Description A thousand years ago when Paris and London were two sleepy towns, there existed three magnificent and unrivaled cities: Constantinople (Byzantium), Cordoba (Andulusia, Spain), and Baghdad (Mesopotamia). Mesopotamia gave Flamenco the famous musician Ziryab (The Black Nightingale) who traveled all the way to Cordoba in Moorish Spain. His genius and innovation in music laid the foundation for a unique music later to become Flamenco. Other influences on flamenco were the Byzantine chants and the gypsy eastern heritage (which is similar in many ways to the Arabic music and culture.) Titles of this CD are real life experiences and travels around the world. ?Byzantine woman? is about an experience of secrets revealed by a Fortune Teller in Istanbul. ?Woman of the palace? is a song of an enchanting night spent in Puerto de Santa Maria, Spain. ?Missing You? reveals an attraction to a woman in Aroche near Portugal and the ensuing months of love a la flamenca. This spilled later into the nearby city of Sevilla where the Moorish tower of La Giralda forever casts its shadows on ?Nights in Sevilla.? The journey continues in ?Nostalgia? for the streets of Paris. Fortune Teller continues the journey of NovaMenco. Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsBest of Modern Flamenco jennett marks | Chicago, IL | 03/12/2002 (5 out of 5 stars) "I have been waiting for NovaMenco's new album for a long time. Finally, I got to purchase "FORTUNE TELLER" thru amazon.com I recommend this CD to all who love flamenco, jazz, rock, and world music. It is simply the best there is in fusion music. I last saw NovaMenco live with B.B.KING. They sounded as magnificent as they are on this CD. I am glad NovaMenco kept their original style and made it fuller and more powerful. My best friend just purchased a copy at Tower Records and she loves it.It is the best of NovaMenco and the best of modern flamenco." Wonderful acoustic flamenco guitar! P. Cooper | Salina, Kansas USA | 02/24/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "I listened to this album in the international section of a record store and fell in love with it. They were sold out. Luckily,I could get it on Amazon. The ryhthms stir the blood! Wide range of appeal, from a friend who is a musician and an acoustic guitarist to my young children-everyone who has listened to it has enjoyed it. I am going to get another of their albums." Great Guitar Music Bill Cohen | New York | 04/02/2002 (5 out of 5 stars) "I love this Fortune Teller CD by NovaMenco. It is NovaMenco at their best. Beautiful melodies, fun rhythms, and amazing guitar work I can listen to all day. It is great music. I give it five stars."
