Comments
| I was so pleased to receive your new CD
Guitarra Sudamericana. I have listened to your music quite a few times
and I want to congratulate you on your successful artistic accomplishment. The
music has a signature sound and an insight into your maturity as a guitarist and
as a composer. I appreciated your compositional style which had a simplicity to
melodic lines but with many interesting twists and turns to the harmonic bass. I
believe that you have journeyed through a process successfully that will bring
many listeners into the world of your culture and your life as a
musician. Janet Marlow , Ten-string Guitar Society, Litchfield, USA, 5-July-2007 |

palette and lick it time to time.It comfort too much

seeing it in so excellent company) Thanks for all. A pretty

guitar showed. Octavio
