Lara & Reyes
Guitarras Hermanas means "sister guitars." Lara and Reyes play handmade flamenco guitars, from famed instrument-maker Pedro Maldonado, whose serial numbers are one apart, making them "sister guitars." But it is the family of guitar styles, from the flamenco of Spain to the requinto of Mexico and all the various styles from Latin America and the United States that also serve as an inspiration for the title. The real majesty of this album is in its weaving of a whole tapestry with different shades of the same musical colours.
