Willie and Lobo

"Our intention with MAŅANA," Willie explains, "is to take the listener, on a journey to somewhere far off, either in the imagination or deep within your own heart. Through some blessed opportunities, we've been able to visit and share musical cultures from such exotic locales as Turkey, Brazil, Spain, Hawaii, Mexico, the south of France as well as flavors of the southern U.S. These adventures are emblazoned in our hearts and greatly influenced the musical style of each song."

MAŅANA features eleven tracks, which - either up tempo or slow - build to an fiery intensity of sound and rhythm. The title track reveals Willie and Lobo's unique style of seamlessly blending musical influences, here with Brazilian rhythms mixing with feel of Hawaiian slack key guitar. The duo can re-create a Turkish night on Caravan Of Camels or concoct an Oriental Gypsy with their intoxicating strings. The fire Willie and Lobo have become famous for around the world is perhaps its brightest on their more traditional flamenco-inspired tunes, including Fuegando (a traditonal flamenco Bularias), Sacromonte Sunrise (inspired by the gypsies who inhabit the hills near Grenada), and El Desparado, a song written in the 17th century Mexican village of San Miguel de Allende.
