Querido Metheny
Vicente Amigo, 2000. Solo by Vicente Amigo.
A dedication to Pat Metheny on the Latin Grammy-winning Ciudad de las Ideas; lyrical rather than showy.
Querido Metheny is Vicente Amigo's dedication to Pat Metheny, from the Latin Grammy-winning Ciudad de las Ideas. The piece is lyrical rather than showy, with flowing melodic lines and warm harmonies that nod to Metheny's style. Amigo's playing is refined and expressive, balancing flamenco technique with a gentle, open sound. The track shows a side of flamenco guitar that values melody and atmosphere over speed. Amigo has the technique for fireworks, which makes his choice to hold back all the more telling. Listen for the soft, sustained chords and graceful melodic lines, which evoke Metheny's warmth while keeping a clear flamenco accent.
