Summary: amazing!
Comment: strunz & farah are amazing artists. i own several of their albums and each... well they all rival each other for the best among them. the guitar is amazingly well done, the instrumentals this band puts together is among the most intensely technical and passionate music i own. it's good.
each album has it's own flavour, and this one's kind of jungle-y. there is a rainforest-like percussion that accompanies some amazing guitar work. when i think of this album as opposed to the others, it's a bit more laid back. there's most definitely some rippin' latin guitaring going on... but it's more lying in the sun music if you ask me.
you owe it to yourself to at least hear some of their work, if you don't plan on going all out and buying the album... it's most definitely worth the listen. maybe try candela. and be sure to check out their other albums as well.

Summary: Technically awesome, emotionally passionate
Comment: When I first bought Strunz and Farah's Americas (on cassette) in 1992 I played it over and over and over. 15 years later I still play this album frequently. I have given it as a gift to those of my closest friends and all have greatly appreciated the magic, beauty, and passion of this music.

Summary: The True Escape
Comment: This is one of those albums that truly carries you through a portal of relaxation to another dimention. A dimension in which you feel as if you were in some bungalow in the middle of Amazon sitting around a fire surrounded by talented guitar players and excellent flamenco dancers. It is truely an escape and a way to leave your world behind and experience true captivation by the sound of the guitar. In my opinion, the artwork on the cover of the album is a true depiction of the passionate music within. I have had this album for more than 10 years and have listened to it at least a 100 times - it just doesn't get old.

Summary: Lush Guitars
Comment: I would recommend this CD to anyone who enjoys latin flamenco guitar. The music is lush, beautiful, and exotic. It is also great to play for a garden party. I own three Strunz & Farah CDs and they are all awesome but Americas remains my favorite.

Summary: GRAND THEFT
Comment: Can you imagine this??? This is the fifth time I have to buy the CD. Every time my friends leave my house after the party my CD Americas is gone.
