Strunz/Farah

"Best Of Strunz & Farah"

The Story
The music comprising the "Best Of Strunz & Farah" is selected from twenty years of the duo's incomparable guitar artistry. The choice of pieces for this retrospective were difficult; final selections were from their most popular studio recordings, "Primal Magic", "Americas", "Mosaico", "Heat Of The Sun" and "Wild Muse". The choices were based on things such as audience responses and requests, radio play and opinions offered. The "Best Of Strunz & Farah" includes an unreleased track as well, the opener "Levantina". This twosome have inspired numerous neo-Latin and neo-flamenco guitar combos in the States over the past two decades - if you want to hear the originals, the "Best Of Strunz & Farah" is a great place to start.
