Jose Luis Encinas "Guitarra Romantica"

"Guitarra Romantica" is an evocative collection of Spanish guitarist Jose Luis Encinas' most passionate compositions from his latest two albums released in Spain, "Aurora" and "Remolino". With each song, Encinas tells stories of longing and love, heartache and desire, tears and joy. Listen... and hear the romance of the guitar. Born in Salamanca, Spain, Encinas was drawn to the flamenco music heard on street corners and in the barrios around him at an early age. He studied guitar with European masters and was awarded a scholarship to attend the Peabody Conservatory of Music at Johns Hopkins University. Encinas is now hailed throughout Europe as a master guitarist. Artfully blending flamenc, classical, pop and world music styles, Encinas creates his own vivid musical landscapes that transport listeners to another place and time.
