It puts me in the mood for the Gypsy Kings.  This seems watered down, generic, while the Gypsy Kings are vibrant and intense.

This is pleasant and well done, but it puts me in the mood for the Rodrigo Y....stuff. The 'perfect' sounding percussion make me mad though...I like more edge. Right, now I want everything!!! 

Btw, does anyone else hear the 'Paco DeLucia, John McLaughlin' rip off section from "Live: Friday Night in San Francisco"? That itself brought the score down from "ahhh" to "ugggh".

Its a very nice piece of music. No, its doesn't sound crackly like some ancient Segovia recording, And that's fine.

Yes, it does not seem "real", it's too smooth somehow.

You'll like instrumental tracks by the Gipsy Kings, as well as Ottmar Liebert, Strunz & Farah, Paco DeLucia, the Romeros (Pepe, etc.), et al. Not to mention Jesse Cook and Rodrigo y Gabriela.

This is the first Latin music I’ve heard on RP that didn’t make me think I was in a second rate Mexican restaurant, drinking too many Tecates and wishing I went Italian. This is quite good; there is a lot of good Spanish music out there. I’m hoping to hear more like this. I bet Bill will play a lot of classy tunes this afternoon you just watch. . .
 
What's amusing about that, is that the music is by a German expat who grew up in India.

It's less "Spanish" than Camille Saint-Saëns'  Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso...

Yes I understand the feeling here, but I still like it. It's light. Of course Paco de Lucia or others are more powerful, higher on the spanish colors and probably musically more interesting.  
But is it the same music? It's ok listening to this and working...

Soooo enjoying my new speakers. This sounds so great and hits me just right. Granted, nearly anything was better than the built-n craptop speakers, but still...   {#Hungry}

I'm kinda surprised that this is the only Govi on the playlist, he's made at least a dozen albums since 1988. One of my faves off of this album is "Persuasion." It's a silky smooth and very romantic five minute escape. {#Hearteyes}
