Luciani
Azucar
The Story
"Azucar" is a Spanish expression, literally meaning 'sugar', that proclaims an audience's appreciation of a truly impassioned performance. In this album, guitarist/composer Guido Luciani draws on Brazilian, Central American and Flamenco influences to deliver an inspiring collection of rhythmic and stirring pieces. Featuring the magic of the Spahish guitar, this music can lift the spirit and charge the soul like no other. Luciani's style has a feel all its own. He unites the spirit of his influences and celebrates them in a musical mosaic. He truly understands the expressive power of the guitar: its light-hearted and rhythmic nature is evident in the "Bulerias", its invigorating power in "Tornado" and its reflective side in the flamencoesque "Melancolia". Whatever his motivation, Luciani's music speaks from and to the heart.
