Members of Toomai are featured on guitar virtuoso Virginia Luque’s new album, Danza de Medianoche, A Celebration of Leo Brouwer. This is a beautiful compilation of guitar works by the great Cuban composer Leo Brouwer. Toomai can be heard on the last three tracks of the album (19–21), Baladas del Cameron Negro for guitar and string quartet. This piece, translated as The Black Decameron, was originally written for solo guitar; Luque’s recording features the rarely performed arrangement (by Brouwer himself) for a full ensemble. 

After the recording session! Andreas Meyer (recording engineer), Hamilton Berry, Alex Fortes, Kallie Ciechomski, George Meyer, and Virginia Luque at Kaleidoscope Sound, New Jersey

 

Danza de Medianoche, A Celebration of Leo Brouwer, is available on iTunes, Spotify, Amazon, and YouTube.
