Tomatito is my favorite flamenco guitarist living today. This album is a wonderful effort from Tomatito and every bit as entertaining as his other solo efforts. The album does have some mainstream, flamenco-inspired tunes, but never strays from the genre. The recording and mastering is excellent and well produced. Whether you are a fan of traditional flamenco guitar or just a novice listener of duende, this album is a great addition to anyone's collection. I recommend any and all of Tomatito's recordings and Aqua Dulce is a brilliant example of the guitar masterery of Tomatito.

Stars

There are some exceptionally good songs on this CD. My favorite is "A Miles". This is a very enjoyable track with a dark, sultry melody and a strong, almost hip-hop-like, beat. "¿Dónde Está Tu Cariño?" is simply a beautiful song sung beautifully by Tomatito's young daughter. "Porque Tú lo Vales" is a well-crafted solea with some very melodic falsetas and a cool ending. "En Casa del Herrero" is one of the most entertaining bulerias I've ever heard; the tag-team duet with Potito and Guadiana is always a treat to hear since these are two of my favorite flamenco singers. "Gallibando" is a tango that is just as majestic as "¿Dónde Está Tu Cariño?", and El Cigala does an excellent job on the vocals. This is a great CD that should satisfy both seasoned flamenco-listeners and beginners.

Though I am a novice Flamenco fan I do recognize the true beauty in this CD. The song "Donde esta tu cariño" has one of the most hauntingly beautiful melodies that I have ever heard. It captures the searingly sad spirit from where flamenco originates.A beautiful CD.

I've been to one of his concerts lately. this is as good as you get live. Singing, dancing, instrumental, classic, jazzy. All that in turn. All that mastered to a delightful level of perfection. Tomatito moves the lines. yeah. quite!

Tomatito is a breathtaking Flamenco guitar player whose ability to enthuse the listener ever grows from piece to piece. The Bulerias on this CD all sound exquisite. Highly recommended!

An interesting mix of jazz and flamenco. The CD contains few tracks so does not play for very long. Pity

Tomatito entretient toujours sa parfaite maitrise du flamenco traditionnel, ceci tout en montrant son étonnante ouverture au flamenco moderne ainsi qu'au Latin Jazz. Tomatito et son entourage ont été très créatifs. On est toujours sidéré par les différences que l'on entend dans toutes ses versions de la buleria, solea, tango, etc. L'enregistrement et le mixage sont de grande qualité. Cet opus est à posséder absolument pour celui qui apprécie le style de Tomatito.

I am a big fan of Tomatito and his style of accompaniment especially of tangos, buleria and alegrias. This CD differs for me from his earlier works in that it seem to be more of a get together with friends in the studio and improvising a recording than a detailed compositional process. Great technique and compass although short on melody.
