José Luis Montón guitar
Recorded April 2011

Catalan guitarist José Luis Montón made a vital contribution to singer Amina Alaoui’s “Arco Iris” (ECM 2180). This extraordinary disc, recorded in Lugano last year. It’s a major artistic statement. With its programme of Montón compositions drawing upon the melodic subtleties, rhythmic vitality and emotional power of flamenco, making connections also to classical tradition, it can at once take its place alongside the label’s finest solo guitar albums.
