In the words of the Spanish poet and flamencologist Felix Grande, "It would be too shallow an observation to merely point out the jewels of harmony, the incomparable technical strength, or the intricate rhythmic architecture of these pieces. This is flamenco revelation, rich with Andalusian tradition and musical virtuosity. I have never heard guitar like this, not even in the hands of Paco De Lucía himself." "Siroco" highlights include "La Barrosa", "Casilda" and "Gloria Al Nino Ricardo."
