Customer Reviews
Amazing guitarist
Juan Jose Carranza's second CD, Playa Gitana shows a guitarist in his prime. The CD starts of with the title track Playa Gitana which takes you to a beach in Costa Rica. Track 3, Caballo Brillante is a brilliant composition full of passion. Mi Nino is a traditional buleria which proves that Carranza can play a guitar like a master.
Definately Yes!!
Okay, he's from Costa Rica, grew up in New York and can't stop his love affair with flamenco, latin rhythms and percussion. With this mix of influences it isn't hard to find yourself captivated with Carranza's latest release, Playa Gitana (Gypsy Beach). An excellent and ambitious follow-up to his previous work on Flamenco De La Costa. Don't take this guy's guitar away, but I've read in an interview that if he were stranded on a desert beach and his last string broke, he'd just keep playing his guitar like a drum. Gotta love that!
