Program Notes
Roughly translated as "fire of the soul," Fuego del Alma embraces both paso doble and flamenco styles using traditional Spanish harmonies, authentic rhythms, characteristic contrasting hand claps, and Spanish-style percussion. Carl Strommen’s original work is energetically charged y con mucho fuego!
