5.0 out of 5 stars great guitarists, April 2, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Salsa Flamenca (Audio CD)

These are two of the most talented guitarists I've had the pleasure of seeing in concert. Unlike some other guitar duos in this genre, like Strunz & Farah, these two are distinctively different in their playing style and it shows in the music. I would recommend this CD to anyone who wants to branch out from the norm and discover some new musical terrain.

5.0 out of 5 stars New forms of salsa and flamenco, April 21, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Salsa Flamenca (Audio CD)

As the title declares, this is neither straight salsa nor pure flamenco, but a new hybrid of both -- salsa flamenca! It makes for a highly satisfying rhythmic and melodic cohesion of both genres. I first discovered Young & Rollins when I heard one of their performances featured on a compilation CD of other new flamenco guitar greats. I bought their CD not expecting to find that every one of their compositions shines. It is hard to point out highlights when every track on the album is so colorful and distinctive -- truly a rarity in the CD market.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great! Very unique combination of Flamenco and Salsa, August 17, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Salsa Flamenca (Audio CD)

Whether you are a long-time fan of Flamenco music, or you just want to get a taste of this spectacular genre, this CD should be in your shopping cart. I've been fortunate enough to attend live performances by Young & Rollins--their music follows the best traditions set by such masters of Flamenco as Paco De Lucia, Al DiMeola, and John McLaughlin, but they've also found a way to uniquely combine traditional Flamenco with the energizing rhythm of salsa music.
