Janos Varga, The Mediterranean Combo - Latin Fantasy (2014)

If you love the Latin/Mediterranean sounds of artists such as Oscar Lopez, Armik, the trio (Al Di Meola, Paco de Lucia, John Mc Laughlin) and other fiery acoustic players, you’ll really enjoy the legendary ex-East guitarist Janos Varga’s project recorded with his son Varga Jr. on second guitar and Zsolt Nagy on piano and Tsoukalas Hristos on darbuka. Entitled Latin Fantasy, the tunes exude passion and excitement while offering a melodic treat for the ears. Varga and Nagy also add some wicked hand percussion to the proceedings - in short, some amazing Latin and Mediterranean style music from a place you might not expect - Hungary.
