Amistad

‘Amistad’ is the third in a series of releases from Slava & Leonard Grigoryan, beginning with ‘Distance’ (2009) and ‘This Time’ (2014). Departing from conventional guitar repertoire, the trio of albums embraces diverse influences, featuring self-penned works and collaborations with friends from around the globe. rThroughout their musical journey spanning over two decades, Slava and Leonard have forged connections with like-minded souls worldwide. Each track on ‘Amistad’, released by Decca Australia, is a gift from composers met during their travels, some tailored specifically for the brothers, while others find new life through their unique interpretations.rContributions have come from such diverse composers as Cuban guitarist Leo Brouwer, legendary jazz guitarist Ralph Towner, Sting’s guitarist Dominic Miller, guitarist Gus Isidore (Seal, Peter Gabriel), Australian neo-classical pianists Luke Howard and Nat Bartsch, and more.rCrafted with love, respect, and a profound understanding, these compositions symbolise the reciprocal appreciation between the composers and the Grigoryan Brothers. Amistad, meaning ‘friendship’ in Spanish, is a celebration of camaraderie — a project resonating with respect and connection, a heartfelt tribute from the brothers.”,”category”: “CD”,”gtin”: “28948761463
