Astarita: Guitar Romantica - Beyond Borders
Carrasco-Lindsay Productions
It’s a lovely and thoroughly romantic offering by Southern California area acoustic guitarists Andres Carrasco and Kent Lindsay. The duo tackles a wide spectrum of genres, spanning modern jazz, pop, and Latin. Putting technical acumen aside for a moment, the duo’s combined sensitivities and soul-stirring dialogues offer a kaleidoscopic scenario.
The twosome morphs attractive harmonies with hefty chops and the sounds of love and romance, amid
a few subtle surprises.

• Here's a few reviews that came in from the Indie Website CD Baby:
A captivating masterpiece and perfect blend of styles!
Reviewer: John Boda (click for website)
If you love beautiful guitar music, you'll love this CD! There is not a weak song or moment in the
superb guitar playing of these artists! Europa is so fine it makes Santana's version sound like a copy.
You won't find a more tasty and cooler version of Blue Bossa anywhere, and if El Diablo and Tico Tico don't make you want to dance, you may not be human or even alive! The only stuff that comes close is maybe Earl Klugh's collaboration with George Benson, or some of Ottmar Liebert's albums. But this is in a class by itself, do yourself a favor and buy it, it's not only beyond borders...it's beyond great!
Mesmerizing !! Purely magical. An incredible blend of sounds and styles.
