Multi-instrumentalist Priyo’s latest album is an intoxicating
blend of rhythmic grooves from the African, Mediterranean, and Spanish flamenco
traditions, with his main instrument of acoustic guitar taking center stage.
The CD is truly a fusion of world music, with Priyo’s vibrant guitar
playing underscoring a variety of genres, from dance and pop to new age and
space jazz. Priyo especially stretches out on the appropriately named,
reggae-influenced “Marswalk.”
In addition to Priyo’s guitars, the sound mix includes
keyboards, bass, percussion, and entrancing male and female vocals. By the way,
the female lead vocal on “Mia Amour” is one of the most beautiful voices I have
ever heard.
This is an excellent guitar-based album full of engaging, buoyant
musicality.
