GOVI. An unassuming name.

My association with Govi started after i bought "Guitar Greats - Best of New Flamenco" seven months ago. From the very first GOVI track I ever listened to ('Treasure Bay'), my mind was in-tuned with splendid, first-class relaxing and enchanting guitar music. So good is that track, i started to buy more of GOVI's albums. To-date, i've collected "Seventh Heaven", "Andalusian Nights" (both from Higher Octave Music). Subsequently I purchased "Guitar Odyssey" (Real Music). With three outstanding GOVI albums under my belt, I went further ... and now, I proudly own another beautiful CD fom Govi.."PASSION & GRACE"...

'Passion & Grace' (also from Real Music) exhibits the grand style of guitar playing from the Man himself. So enlightening, so relaxing, this album exudes such beautiful melodies that I'm totally captivated and transformed into a state of euphoria, from the opening guitar riffs till the last bits from this rather short (46:22) CD! Never mind the short running time, just spin it again and again. I never get enough of Govi's P&G. Remember? - I have three other superb GOVI albums to satisfy my passion for Govi's music. All tracks from P&G are excellent, but my favourites gotta be "Tears of Joy","Sailing Away" and "Kea Lani"

[TECH NOTE: Govi's albums, both under the older label (Real Music) and current label (Higher Octave Music) are truly of 'audiophile' status. Even with my mini-bucks entry level hi-fi system, the recording/sonic qualities on these labels are (to me at least) at par with the other world-acclaimed audiophile record labels. The pristine tones/timbre (attack & decay) from Govi's various types of guitars are laid bare for your discerning ears. Absolutely brilliant!]

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Passion & Grace (Audio CD)

Have you ever be transformed into a different time and place by music? Well, this album will take you to a wonderful place in your mind. I call it my dream vacation music. When I listen to this amazing artist play, I just want to be sitting on the sand, watching the waves crash down, while I drink my mai tai. Govi mixes sounds of Spain and the Carabian with utilizing guitars and wind instraments. If you like flameco, steel drums, flutes, and classical guitar styles, then you'll love this album.

5.0 out of 5 stars Govi sends me, February 6, 2000

This review is from: Passion & Grace (Audio CD)

My first purchase of Govi was this one. I love it! It is the perfect background music for on the beach with your special love, but frankly it goes everywhere with me. I never really cared much for the latin flare, but this is truely different. I now have a Govi collection because of this particular CD.
