I just received and had the opportunity to review the new release by Del Castillo entitled Infinitas Rapsodias. This is definitely not a blues recording but is quite interesting. As you may have guessed from the title, if you aren't familiar with the band, this is a Latino influenced band. I listened to this band totally cold having not been exposed to their music earlier. Lumbres De Babylon builds from a moving ballad to a real guitar frenzy speeding as it progresses. Fuego Egipcio is an instrumental and really shows the trio of guitar players chops. You've likely heard something like this before but likely not with this intensity. Brotherhood features Leann and Malford Milligan and is a strong vocal track of course with great instrumental backing. Para Mi Sobrina is another strong instrumental track featuring Carl Thiel. Vida is a strong composition with blazing guitars and with the addition of Phoebe Hunt on violin which forms a nice composition. Amor Venme A Buscar is an experiment where the band backs Canadian born opera sensation Anna Maria Kaufman.
Also included with the recording is a video disc which is quite interesting. There is a 25 plus minute long video of the band with playing and interviews. I found this very entertaining. Also on this second disc are three cover tracks, Listen To The Music, What A Wonderful World and While My Guitar Gently Weeps. The George Harrison composition is absolutely terrifically and masterfully done.
