Flamenco Steel This is the album that has already stunned the guitar world prior to its release. El Duo Duende (Craig Alden Dell and AnnaMaria) has created and introduced a no-holds-barred, do-not-try-this-at-home technique of executing of true Andalusian gypsy flamenco on steel strings. El Duo Duende alone performs with the passion and discipline required to endure such guitaristic brutality to achieve the purity of tone that "Flamenco Steel" allows.

El Duo Duende
Some of the world's most beautiful music can not exist in the hands of a singular performer. It must come to life in the conversation between two. It is that mysterious entity of community that the gypsies call "duende." Few performing teams are as graced with that magical property as Craig Alden Dell and AnnaMaria Cardinalli in this, their debut album. It spans a range from the most formal classical repertoire, to sweeping operatic vocals, to passionate flamenco - each consistent in the spirit of duende which pervades.

Sleep with the Angels AnnaMaria says: "'Sleep with the Angels' is what my mother whispered every night as she kissed my cheek and tucked me into bed. Today it remains as much of a needed blessing. In that spirit, this album of lullabies is meant for adults as much as it is for children. Many of these selections are rarely considered to be lullabies, but each piece is intimately connected with the ideas of sleep, dreams, and prayers or inspires peaceful drifting."

Spain Never Sleeps The concept for Spain Never Sleeps is a reminiscence of a night in Andalucia. From her concert repertoire, AnnaMaria offers a collection of moods and melodies. Preferring compositions that border both classical and flamenco, she combines discipline with passion creating an album that sings with the lament of the guitar and dances with the rhythms of the gypsies.

Santa Fe Silver Strung with silver strings, AnnaMaria's guitar expresses the elegance of classical form. Koyunbaba finds rural northern New Mexico as familiar as the cliffs of the Mediterranean coasts. Listen and you will experience the real treasures of Santa Fe - the music is as intoxicating as the aroma of lavender, as sensual as honey dripping from horno-baked bread, as exotic as dark skins adorned with silver jewelry.

Quinceanera For her Quinceanera, AnnaMaria created her premier album expressive of the gamut of emotions generated by her formal presentation. She saw her fifteenth year as the time to declare her intentions to her community - and ask them to accept her as their musician. This album's arrangements reflect the colorful folkloric music of the ritual's Mexican heritage. Marches, tears, joy, and a prayer combine--symbolic of the ritual and the future.
