Misterio

Engineer Kavi Alexander writes in the liner notes about Misterio, "The impassioned beauty of the music of Strunz & Farah reflects the commingling of elements particular to their respective cultures, rooted in Latin America and the Middle East. Technically, their improvisational style is a synthesis stemming from an eclectic musical language that is international in its scope and embrace. Their compositions are executed with both fingernails and plectra, rendering a uniqueness to their craft. The moods of their music evoke images such as that of the Persian musician Ziryab in the court of the Moors in Spain, the lush countryside of tropical America bathed in a soft rain, the echoes of the Mezquita in the indigo night, the dancing Yaqui shaman lit by firelight at the edge of dawn. This is a journey of the heart through its own night and dreams, seeking light and finding ultimately within itself the sun."
