I highly recommend Flamenco Flavors... an exceptional cd........1999-01-22

Flamenco Flavors is like a palette of colors where you have a variety of choices. The music styles consist of smooth jazz, rumba flamenca and other Latin rhythms. In Track 3, Hypnotic Safari, the combination of flamenco-like rhythms and jazz gives you the impression that you are on a long, relaxing journey and you are not in a hurry to reach your destination. It's a very soothing piece. Track 6, Un Poco De Elfida, reaches your soul with its smoothness. I highly recommend Flamenco Flavors to the jazz and world beat enthusiasts. You won't get tired of listening to it.

great guitar artistry...Jazzamenco at it's finest.......1999-01-19

12 guitars are multitracked to produce a palette of sounds...relaxing, showcases both Romero's flamenco techniques and Johnson's fingerstyle and jazz influences. Johnson, also a drummer as well as accomplished guitarist, toured with Les Paul, and has performed with Thom Bresh and Nokie Edwards (The Ventures). Romero, is a flamenco master with several other recordings to his credit. Hear Johnson and Romero on other CD's Flamenco Festival (Narada/Hallmark Music) and "Hypnotic Safari", (Wannadu)coming release.

Excellent! A must have!.......1999-01-05

Flamenco Flavors combines jazz with rumba flamenca strums, which gives each piece a unique sound. I enjoyed the jazz aspect of the cd and highly recommend it. I read that Wayne Johnson uses 10 guitars and guitar synthesizer, which creates a palette of musical flavors and showcases the artists technical versatility.
