Havana Sunset: The Best of Govi

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Havana Sunset is a collection of 11 previously released tracks (60 minutes' worth) selected from the German-born guitarist's four Higher Octave recordings: Saffron & Silk, Mosaico, Andalusian Nights, and Seventh Heaven. As one would expect, it's an easy-on-the-ear showcase for Govi's unerringly pleasant flamenco stylings--warm, graceful, and sanguine. Govi clearly does not create music for flamenco purists; instead, he targets listeners who enjoy the gentler side of flamenco's cheery colors, and he obliges by creating smooth, catchy, midtempo selections that are imbued with refined playing and a nonblistering pace. It is what it is: Nice, undisruptive background music well-suited for a patio party ("Persuasion" sets a particularly attractive mood) or a top-down cruise along an oceanfront highway. Put Govi in approximately the same league as Johannes Linstead (though Linstead's melodies and arrangements can be more complex) or Oscar Lopez (a skilled player who often favors a more spirited flamenco sound). --Terry Wood

5 out of 5 stars Great CD!.......2007-07-26

I bought this CD after hearing Govi on Siruis radio. His music is great! There isn't any track on this CD that I don't like! I would highly recommend this CD to anyone who loves guitar music! Govi does it better than anyone! A truly great musician!

5 out of 5 stars Love Govi & Glad To Have Found Mehdi .......2006-04-01

I've always enjoyed Govi and this album is no exception, but while reading some of the customer recommendations posted on this site I discovered a group by the name of Mehdi (pronounced meddie). After an online search I found their site (SoothingMusic - Com) and listened to the samples...
I was instantly blown away by the quality of this music and so I gave it a try and now that I have listened to these CDs several times I really must say that although I'm still a fan of this music I also find Mehdi to be a great addition to this CD. I have them both in my multi-disc CD player and love the way they compliment each other. I highly recommend that you give this artist a try or atleast just go listen to the samples, I have a feeling you'll be glad you did.

5 out of 5 stars A wonderful listening experience.......2006-02-05

I initially heard this cd in a clothing store & immediately asked what it was. Great background music for a dinner party or gathering. I've enjoyed it during yoga practice & find each track a treat for the ears. Enjoy - you won't be disappointed.
