“In the Music” (have deleted this link as the music is a guide part only for the choir – not a finished recorded piece) I’ve also changed the link below so that it links to a recorded version of “My Gyspy Waltz” not the guide parts)

“His latest album demonstrates his fluid, technically brilliant guitar work… and the standout track is the 18 minute India, a series of meditations on poverty and resilience, in which lyrical, drifting guitar passages are matched against rousing interplay with Srikanth’s violin… the exuberant title track…(and) the thoughtful and lyrical Rosie is another reminder of Niebla’s exquisite guitar work.” – The Guardian
“Poignantly poetic… and truly breathtaking” – Scotsman
“Niebla is the king of Latin guitar, a world-class virtuoso.” – Time Out
