Award-winning Spanish guitarist Ruben Romero and guitar wizard Edgar Cruz once again join forces on Guitarras de Fuego, their second in the Guitarras series, to deliver an impassioned spectrum of traditional Flamenco rhythms and seven original compositions.
From spirited rumbas to a sensual nocturne, with “guitars on fire” Romero and Cruz masterfully contribute their respective expertise and finesse on this, their second recording of Spanish guitar hits.
