• “The presence of two nylon-string nirvana-seekers like Jorge Strunz and Ardeshir Farah in one group

is a near embarrassment of riches. As if each player’s virtuosity — fired by keen melodic inventiveness,

harmonic sensitivity and careening finger speed — weren’t enough, their crisp duets are underpinned by a

multiethnic, groove-conscious rhythm section. The result is a musical landscape redolent with tropical

colors and rolling with flamenco thunderclaps.” — Musician

• “What they have created is truly magical. From the first note played, it is apparent that this is not some

fly-by-night collaboration — Ardeshir Farah and Jorge Strunz have been playing together as a duo for

over a decade and this album of Worldbeat music establishes them as a leading force in this area.” —

• “With their incendiary blend of flamenco color, driving Afro-Latin rhythms, and dazzling nylon string

virtuosity...Strunz & Farah are spectacular live. For guitar lovers, the experience can be downright

apocalyptic.” — Guitar Player

• “...these two players are fast becoming the talk of the Latin-jazz world...Strunz & Farah [are] visceral

and exciting live...You see them soloing at a leisurely pace, and then all of a sudden they kick in the

afterburners for some unplugged shred...If you dig the art of high-tempo alternate picking, these cats will

make you drool...It’s simply uncanny to witness such a feat of sheer guitar virtuosity.” — Guitar Shop
