Set for release on August 27, 2020 by S-Curve Records/BMG, en Casa Limón is Broza’s first endeavor at an all-instrumental guitar album and is produced by Grammy-award winner Javier Limón.
A longtime fan of the Spanish guitar, David Broza has incorporated many styles of flamenco, jazz, classical into his performance repertoire. Over the years, fans and friends have repeatedly requested a guitar instrumental album. “After 43 years as a singer-songwriter, composing music without lyrics was a challenging task,” shares Broza. “I had to perfect my playing to become a guitarist by trade. It took a while – almost 3 years.”
The album was recorded at the Casa Limón Studios in Madrid, Spain, a “magical place” where some of the world’s greatest guitarists, including Paco de Lucia and Tomatito, recorded their albums.
Producer Javier Limón directed the undercurrents of nuevo flamenco to a confluence with Broza’s other musical influences. Says Limón: “David Broza is one of the few artists with whom I would embark on any adventure with my eyes closed. The result is the most beautiful and profound journey to the roots of the most popular and beloved instrument on the planet – the Spanish Guitar.”
In addition to Broza’s Spanish guitar, the album features Israel Suarez “Piraña” on percussion, and Dany Noel on bass. Notable guest artists are Randy Brecker on trumpet, Tali Rubenstein on recorders, Layth Sidiq on violin, Antonio Serrano on harmonica and Delfina Cheb on vocalizations.
The album is dedicated to the memory of the great guitar luthiers Manuel Contreras and his son Pablo M. Contreras II.
