Synopsis

Album Description
Truly a "river of colors", this new recording by the original world jazz guitar duo rushes forth with the top flight mastery of the acoustic guitar and improvisation that the duo is renowned for. At once adventurous and elegant, this recording spans a breadth of styles, incorporating flutes, violin, bouzouki and percussion. With a hand-picked selection of musicians from Latin America, the Middle East and the US, this work celebrates a colorful cultural diversity, music that S&F have pioneered since 1979. The compositions range from flamenco, Persian, Latin folk, and jungly to the romantically classic, with harmonic twists and rhythmic textures overlaid with fluid melodies. Their 12th album, Rio de Colores epitomizes refined world fusion.

CD Reviews

AWSOME, A MUST HAVE
Kalenski 2 | 06/24/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I have all of S&F cds in my collection, This CD is probaly one of my favorites.
When I play Rio De Colores it reminds me of Americas, I can play it begining to end and enjoy every piece of it.
It is very refreshing and pleasant, some of the pieces have a middle eastern flavor some have south american.
Seeing S&F in concert is a must, this is where all hell breaks loose and they let their creativity and free style guitar playing,
dominate the stage."
Ils sont les dieus de la guitare!

"...Amazing! Incredible! Excellent! Superb! Magnificent! Exceptional! Brilliant! Awesome! Mind-defying! What else can I say?! All the way through their career in multi-cultural latin-fusion-improvised-ethnojazz rythms and songs Strunz and Farah have impressed and knocked many off their feet with their staggering technique and resembling-impossibility swiftness! This particular disc fulfills S&T's legacy of holding everybody's breath at listening to their compositions. I, somewhat of a guitar-player, just sometimes ponder: "with their skill, infinity on the guitar is possible, there's nothing they can't do on this divine instrument." Buy the CD, you won't ever regret it."
The CD is great but they are amazing LIVE!

"I caught them out in Los Angeles and they were amazing. Nothing beats seeing them live and seeing their hands move so fast they blurr before your very eyes. The other musicians are also fantastic especially the conga player. You want to see an amazing cast of musicians, don't miss S&F when they come to your town."
