This is pure musicianship. Morente has given us a body of beautiful composition that provides a heartful tribute to Federic Garcia Lorca and an astounding triumph in modern flamenco. Morente's command of musical venacular is flawlessly executed in a jazz flamenco fusion that gives way to the traditional flamenco music of his native Andulucia. We see this early in the album. With no fear of walking close to the edge, Morente shows us he has travelled the same barren mountains and flower covered hillsides as the poet Lorca.

I have had this record for a couple of years and it knocks my socks off when I put it on. The level of professionalism in execution of the the songs and the quality of the production and recording is exceptional. This is not just for the flamenco listener or the fan of Federico Garcia Lorca's poetry and martyrdom, but for anyone who enjoys good music and whose taste is complex and well rounded. Enrique Morente is an absolute professional and the talent assembled for this album is made up of first rate musicians.
