Picasso en Mis Ojos
Customer Review: fantastic
This is one of the most gorgeous, musically layered CDs to come out in years, bar none. I’ve listened to it hundreds of times and not only never tire of it, I hear more and more each time. The mix of flamenco and European jazz is seemless and artful, and the Picasso concept takes the work to yet another level. Do not expect more of what you hear in “Lagrimas Negras”. That CD was a clever cross-pollination of two artists from different yet related musical genres, but weighted heavily on the traditional Cuban bolero side. “Picasso en Mis Ojos” is Diego El Cigala doing what Diego does best, which is nuevo Flamenco. The music in this CD expands the boundaries of flamenco by weaving it with an amazing pallet of musical textures and feels, mostly jazz inspired, yielding an amazingly fresh pallet of materials. The musicianship in the band is stunning– the inner lines of instrumental writing and performance and the colors it yields are as good as it gets. And then there’s Diego’s singing, which I have always loved, passionate, crying, loving, talking, floating above and diving into the musical fabric of these songs. The other reviewers here on the Amazon site who express disappointment clearly wanted more “Lagrimas Negras” and don’t seem to understand how much better a work “Picasso en Mis Ojos” actually is. Don’t let their comments sway you into missing out on a great great work.

Customer Review: Nice album!
This is a very nice album by Diego el Cigala. It was a great addition to my collection. I recommend it to lovers of spanish modern music.
