AMG Review of Heart of the Immigrants
Scott Yanow
All Music GuideGuitarist Al di Meola has been alternating electric and acoustic projects for the past few years. For this acoustic affair, he teams up with Dino Saluzzi on bandoneon to pay tribute to ango master Astor Piazzolla. The music (even a duet version of "Someday My Prince Will Come") has the flavor of Argentina and uses a wide variety of instrumentations, including an occasional string section and the voice of Hernan Romero. It's recommended to lovers of world music, the modern ango, and those who think of di Meola's guitar playing as being one-dimensional and purely based on speed.
