Soulspeak

In 2003, Texas guitarist Mario Aleman released his second solo effort, entitled Soulspeak, and it's a compilation of original arrangements created over the previous couple of years. Bigger in terms of arrangement and production than his first release, "Acoustic Poetry", Aleman spent a lot more time on this project. Aleman states, "Personally, it was very spiritual. Lots of discipline involved. It took a lot of discipline just to follow through with every decision made, not only during the writing and recording process of the album, but everything else involved." Soulspeak's tracks are all instrumental and are done in a rumba flamenco fusion style - very lyrical, melodic, exciting, and soul stirring.
