"This album [Mediterranea] makes you feel like you’re in a far away land sipping Sangria and watching a beautiful sunrise over the Mediterranean. If you like Spanish guitar, you're going to love this."

Johannes Linstead

It's amazing what Johannes Linstead has accomplished in the five years since the release of his first album SOL LUNA TIERRA in 1999. From winning "Best Contemporary World Album" to having top-ten charting albums, to top radio airplay, he has become recognized internationally as one of best selling guitarist/composers in the nouveau flamenco genre. Now with the recent release of his fifth CD - MEDITERRANEA - he has again raised the standard with his flair for melodic, innovative, and timeless music.
