Description

One of the greatest guitarists of international jazz that has imbued classical jazz and latin with gypsy flamenco, the musical traditions of the Middle East and the Mediterranean. A close collaborator of Al Di Meola for many years, he transforms flamenco’s passion to absolute jazz enjoyment

Spiced with the exotic traditions that infuse flamenco-gypsy, Middle Eastern, and Mediterranean folk interwoven with textures of classical, jazz, and Latin rhythms, composer and guitarist Hernan Romero's music is both sophisticated and accessible. It is sensuous, passionate, romantic and inescapably infectious. The impassioned strains of Romero's virtuosity, both as a guitarist and composer, offer listeners a vibrant and exhilarating sound.  

With DUENDE, the world-class guitarist captivates and mesmerizes his listeners with fiery flamenco rhythms and the essence of the Spanish tango andaluz. Each rhythmic guitar phrase echoes a distinctive concept in modern flamenco music that literally welcomes you into its beautiful chord patterns. In addition to pleasing your sense of improvisation, Romero beckons you to enjoy the counterpoint of his vocals and that of the accompanying percussionists. Artistically beautiful, sensual and contains the kind of songs that keep the romantic heart on fire!
