The German guitarist and composer Ralf Siedhoff and the Spanish flamenco guitarist Manuel Delgado have enjoyed a close musical friendship since 1997. With “Soleado”, (meaning “sunny”), these two virtuosos have, for the first time, released an album in trio formation with Ernest Martinez from Spain on percussion and vibraphone.
“Soleado”, their debut opus for Acoustic Music, reveals them in an elegant dialog within the exciting realm of Spanish and Latin American sounds and musical forms, like the bulería, rumba, tango and zapateado. And occasionally, the trio is even joined by the children of the two main protagonists, Carmen Delgado on bandoneón and Richard Siedhoff on piano. “Sin Distancia”, therefore, symbolizes closeness in general, the meeting of generations, as well as the joint roots of musical cultures in Europe and Latin America. A genuinely "sunny" musical experience.
