Earth-Angel Posted May 18, 2005 Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 Clicky! Great for BMX fans too! I've been watching some awesome BMX clips and love the music they've been using! It's like Spanish/Latino classic guitar, and I was hoping someone might recognise the song or the style in the clip and point me towards similar sounding songs and/or artists. Very chilled, sensual, holiday kind of music, and I love classic guitar too! :guitar: Personal recommendations anyone? I'd prefer vocal-free songs, or ones with limited vocals. Thanks guys!

Foxy Posted May 18, 2005 Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 I love latin guitar music, I've actually ordered a shed load of CDs lately, so I'll let you know the good ones. Heres one of the CDs I've bought from CD Baby: Rod Mobasher Also, try this link to see new music to fit every mood! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daslied Posted May 18, 2005 Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 Something sort of similar is "Classical Gas" by Mason Williams. It's from the 60's, I think, and it's a nylon string guitar. You can try Ottmar Liebert (excuse the spelling); he's got some similar stuff as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoulGirl Posted May 18, 2005 Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 sue you have got to check out roderigo y gabriela. they are amazing!!! they gig alot in ireland. they play spanish guitar, totally instrumental and they often use little hooks from well known songs but in a latin style. they're bringing out an album of metallica covers actually! you should definitely try and get hold of some of their stuff, i think it's exactly what you're looking for!

InsaneTim Posted May 18, 2005 Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 Um, Santana maybe?? :guitar: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steel2Velvet Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 Brazilian Bossa Nova is diverse and extremely satisfying for listening. The guitar work is as complex and enjoyable as anything out there right now. Angelique Kidjo has an album titled "Black Ivory Soul" that explores the African influence in Latino music that spawned the Brazilian sound. Not a bad track on that entire album. Great duet with Dave Matthews on there too! Highly recommend it for someone who wants to spend some time away from R&R, but not get too far away from music that makes you want to move.

RonJonSurfer Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 Is it Valerie by the Monkees where there is a nice spnish guitar break? (before the fuzzzed out electric comes in!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazooka Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 Sounds similar to some of Jesse Cook. Try looking for rumba flamenco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burt28910 Posted May 21, 2005 Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 Hi earth-angel, Awesome video clip! I believe the song you're looking for, is indeed by Jesse Cook, from his Album "Gravity" and the song Titled "Mario Takes a Walk". Check it out here: Jesse Cook - Mario Takes a Walk I know you'll love it - Burt (apparently) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earth-Angel Posted May 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 Burt, you are my hero! It is indeed "Mario takes a walk"! Thank you Bazooka for the Jesse Cook pointer! :guitar: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcM Posted May 22, 2005 Report Share Posted May 22, 2005 First song to pop to mind was "Spanish Caravan" by The Doors. A very nice acustic guitar a Flamenco feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_jr_ Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 off Al DiMeola's first solo effort ('76) Mediterranean Sundance with Paco de Lucia I used to have 'Friday Night in San Fransisco' with Al, Paco, and John McLaughlin. It opened with this cut. An awesome cd. 3 guys and their guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanAm Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 If you like Ottmar Liebert, I highly recommend Govi, particularly his Guitar Odyssey and Passion and Grace CD's. Very romantic and relaxing music. Robert Michaels, Oscar Lopez, The Gipsy Kings and the aforementioned Jesse Cook and Paco de Lucia are well worth checking out.
