Matthew Fagan: España El Vito – The Spirit Of Spain

At last, the lord of the strings Matthew Fagan has returned to us. The lord of the strings has recently launched his newest album entitled El Vito – The Spirit of Spain, an adventure for the ears to a place full of beauty and rich in soul. Matthew takes you on a mesmerising ride deep into the spirit of Spain.
Fifteen unique tracks of masterful precision help bring a strong sense of adventure full of elegance. Matthew must be commended on the diversity he still manages to bring, some tracks feeling quite peaceful yet captivating where others produce a more energetic and vibrant response that showcase Matthews incredible passion, dexterity and skill.
The clarity of the fantasy must not be understated, you are taken to deep dark and beautiful places in a relaxing yet powerful performance, the sound feels authentic and of course it is, it’s the lord of the strings I’m talking about, duh!
Last time I saw Matthew Fagan live, he impressed me with his precision and passion, El Vito has achieved that yet again, probably even more so. Matthews new album is a triumph to the spirit of Spain. We’ve gone thirty years without a new Spanish guitar vinyl, I think it’s only appropriate that it be Matthew Fagan’s El Vito.
