Borrasca

Borrasca means tempest or storm, and that’s exactly what Ottmar Liebert and Luna Negra have created in the new age/world music arena. This CD had been eagerly anticipated and the reception was nothing short of phenomenal. This third release augments the “power-trio” approach of Ottmar with Jon Gagan (bass + keyboards) + Dave Bryant (percussion + drums) with special horn arrangements that lend an almost mariachi flavor and strong Latin appeal. Borrasca was nominated for a Grammy award and was certified Gold/USA + 4 x Platinum/USA Latin.
Total running time: 56:42

The Japanese Borrasca CD had a 16th track, an extended live version of La Rosa Negra, recorded at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco in 1991. The musicians were OL, Jon Gagan and Davo Bryant. An excerpt of the track is provided below.
