Review
Such wonderful music and vocals. Some of it reminds me of Phil Keaggy's very serene guitar work. Excellent music. I hear so much of various styles, but every now and then someone like you really shines like the sun. --Jon Nipp (Spirit Within)
It's very rare to hear such mastery of ethnic/worldly instruments from one composer. These beautiful compositions take listers around the globe. --Greg Percifield - Music Forte

Product Description
"Across the East" is the second album, the pieces on the present recording are thrilling and profoundly musical KZN release by the Spanish composer.
The album brings to a conclusion through three years of intensive work where Rodrigo was recording in the diferent studios, in Spain and Japan.
Solo guitars, kena, clarinets, duets for shakuhachi flute and steel guitar, and pieces where Rodrigo has used for the first time the sheng (mouth organ) consisting essentially of vertical pipes, one of the oldest varieties of Chinese instruments.It first apears in 551 BC during the Zhou Dynasty (1111 to 222 BC.)
Also the rare African thumb piano samsula similar to kalimba and the exotic instruments from Indonesia the Gamelan (bonang, saron, kenong.)
The fujara, a large folk shepherd's fipple flute of unique design, originating from Slovakia in a unique and emotional solo.
In addition, Rodrigo brings to the "Across the East" the originality and minimalism using the case of a guitar like a percussion in Spanish influenced rhythm.

This review is from: Across the East (Audio CD)
Rodrigo Rodriguez' music is fully meditative. "Across the East" is a smooth flight on the wings of a fresh wind to mysterious eastern lands. The musician uses many unique authentic instruments on his album (sheng, shakuhachi, kena, oud, samsula and many others). Sometimes listening to Rodrigo Rodriguez' music reminds me of the best Windham Hill Records' works, but this musician has his own style which can't be compared with anyone. And so much beauty is in Rodrigo Rodriguez' music!
As you sit, you listen to this music and you simply become one with yourself. You stay in the present moment and you don't want to leave it. And this moment is suddenly filled with such an inexpressible bliss... Listen to "Across the East" and begin a beautiful journey! Serge Kozlovsky [...]
