Sounds of Soul

I've just read a Russian review of my cd from Audio Find. The review is entitled Sounds of Soul. It's the first foreign review of my cd i've read. I thought it was an interesting translation into English - a few grammatical errors, but hey, any press is good press:)

"It is said that by means of the sounds of the guitar it is possible to make unforgettable travel. How to make it you can understand listening to Ricardo Sweat Rodriguez, the inhabitant of the USA with the Latin American roots, who reveals beautiful sounds by the means of his guitar and reflects in his music all about what it is spoken in the title of the tracks. It is possible absolutely precisely and in details to imagine mountains, and the caravan, and the palace of a bishop, and a wave, and the woman from Salvador that goes somewhere shaking her hips, and to fall asleep under a lullaby, and to get on the streets of Mexico, and to meet spirits flying somewhere. If you ask the musician, that apart from creating music also has time to work in his own recording company and agency that organizes concerts, how he characterizes his music it is possible to hear only that his style refers to a fashionable word-combination «acoustic fusion». Probably, this description is the exact to reflect his style that is not suitable for any existing category: so different directions are combined in the music of the guitarist. It is fusion, the mixture of various styles so masterly executed by an acoustic guitar. Rodriguez, refusing from lyrics and words on the plate, gives the listener full freedom of imagination. It is necessary to close your eyes and imagine those feelings which the guitar music so full of expression is capable to waken."
