flamenco y rhumba nueva
Spanish guitars, blended with Latin
percussion, create the gypsy-influenced acoustic sound of Cerro
Negro.
Combining sounds from the roots of Flamenco music with cutting-edge
instrumentation and orchestration, Cerro Negro's music embraces
a variety of rhythms and styles, including Flamenco, Rhumba, Jazz,
Ambient, Worldbeat and Pop.
Cerro Negro's passionate sound transcends generations and appeals
to a wide variety of musical tastes because of its unique coupling
of traditional elements of Flamenco guitar -- like using hand techniques
instead of a pick -- with an exotic blend of Congas, Cajon, Djembe,
Clave and Palmas.
Cerro Negro includes guitarists Dusty Brough and Frank Giordano,
and percussionist John Martin III.
"People hear Flamenco and
they think of something ethereal -- we show them that it's not.
It's a likable, easily accessible form of music -- the blues
of Spain."
Frank Giordano
"It's about embracing the whole experience,
pain and joy. Flamenco also is like blues in that it can be
blended with other forms of music. It's a resilient form."
John Martin
