--> Spicy Spanish Guitar
Sundance is a spicy stew of flavours from diverse world music styles: nouveau flamenco, bossa-nova and exotic middle eastern sounds blend with the romance of the Spanish guitar.
In his most ambitious recording yet, Kevin adds a wide range of musical accents to his unique brand of infectious guitar music.
Rosendo 'Chendy' Leon drives the music along with his brilliant percussion and drum playing, combining elements from around the world.
Ernie Tollar lends an exoticism with his beautiful eastern flutes (bansuri, nay).
Drew Birston adds an acoustic warmth on upright bass on a few songs.
Nana Jokura plays her beautiful violin arrangement (with help from Drew Birston) on Into the Night.
And Peter Smith adds a jazzy playfulness on flute on the song Emiko.
Instrumentation: guitar, bass, drums, percussion, bansuri, nay, violin, flute.
