Guitarist Wayne Wesley Johnson brings together a diverse group of musicians for his 2003 solo release Canciones Del Alma: Songs From The Soul. On several tracks, Johnson integrates Chinese pentatonic melodies perfomed on guitar, guitar synthesizer and pipa (Gao Hong) blended with Spanish and Latin rumba flamenco rhythms and further complimented with Bolivian pan flutes and charango (Mario Reynolds). A good example of Johnson's mixing of musical cultures is the blending of the Chinese guitar with the Brazilian Bossa Nova or Samba as evidenced by the Vic Cenicola tune "Segovia's Dream". Another highlight is Johnson's collaboration with Ventures guitarist Nokie Edwards on remakes in the Nuevo flamenco style of the classics "Walk, Don't Run", "Venus" and "Pipeline". Instrumental Guitar (Acoustic/Smooth Jazz/World), total running time, 49:10 - Wayne Wesley Johnson @ iTunes!
