“Extremadura” is the second album that Raphaël Faÿs, whose background is in gypsy jazz and classical music, has devoted to Andalusia. Raphaël’s guitar technique is faultless and his feeling for melody a rare gift indeed, which serves him well here in this demonstration of his unique flamenco style — he plays the music using a pick. This new album shows all the virtuosity, passion and perfectionism that have made Raphaël Faÿs an unavoidable figure not only on the flamenco scene but also in all music.
