About Hernan Romero:
Infusing classical and flamenco guitar with jazz riffs and contemporary melodies, composer and guitarist Hernan Romero brings world/jazz to a new realm with his latest release, Un Segundo una Vida. Spiced with the exotic traditions that influence flamenco-gypsy, Middle Eastern, and Mediterranean folk-and interwoven with textures of classical, jazz, and Latin rhythms, Romero's music is both sophisticated and accessible. It is sensuous, passionate, romantic and inescapably infectious. Receiving classical guitar training in his youth from Roberto Lara one of Andres Segovia's disciples, Romero became strongly influenced by the Flamenco style.
In 1986 Romero moved to New York. Teaching classical guitar in the Music program at Manhathan School of Music in New York. Soon after his arrival, Romero also continued his education with a Masters in Composition and Orchestration at the Manhattan School of Music.
Playing in jazz clubs around town, Romero was soon working with some of world's finest guitarists, including Al Di Meola, Paco De Lucia and John McLaughlin. In 1990, Romero produced and played on Di Meola Plays Piazzola, beginning a fertile association with Di Meola that resulted in 11 other albums including Orange and Blue for Rhino Records in 1994 and The Grand Passion for Telarc.
Un segundo una Vida was nominated for best surround Grammy's bringing Romero's flamenco and Latin-based jazz to new realms, with the addition of more complex orchestration, additional instrumentation including the melodic strings of a chamber orchestra, and a wide array of penetrating vocals his composing and performing skills as a collaborator remain in high demand. There is a soon to be released new effort with long time friend Al Di Meola. Romero collaborated in the recording of Rear View Mirror with Grammy Award winning vocalist Alicia Keys released on the Dr. Doolittle 2 soundtrack.
Duende Romero's new CD on Bolero Records hit 9 on Billboard September 2006.
