I let Servantes talk about his work:

MY MUSIC :
Before reasoning it, I call it: latin-jazz-flamenco-bluegrass-classical-and others.
Now here’s the reasoning.
Music always evolves. In the past, musicians have explored every avenue they tought possible during their time and period. As time goes by, new possibilities are brought to our attention making music evolve the same way our way of thinking evolves. Bringing us new mixes, new languages…
But these new ideas create less and less impact as the ones from the past decades. Like Beethoveen, Shoenberg, Jimi Hendrix or Metallica… naming only these 4 wich shocked Men and his way of thinking.
A musician in 2008 can create his own language from his origins. Nevertheless, he will rapidly and clearly get catalogued. Why trying to be the new wave, the new style, when the ansers are in our heritage. I wonder.
To the ones who listen to me playing, I hope simply that they can hear my culture, my soul and my story. On stage, the goal is to present and share our beings with the ones who will be willing to hear.
Have a good listening!

For the album, Servantes mainly use a Pedro De Miguel flamenco guitar. Still that for the piece «Conmigo», he use his «classical» Wilhelmy (1992); the result is really interesting!
