Isabel
By
Carbe and Durand
Written by

The partnership of Carbe
and Durand over the years has become legendary, especially in the vibrant
Latin styled world of guitar with a globally infused twist, for me personally
it has been a delight that I discovered back in the days of Incendio, and I wished I hadn’t checked,
as that first album was now 25 years ago and called Misterioso, but here they are once more with another delightful new
single called Isabel, so that
pleasurable journey gladly continues.
The vibrancy of this new creation is tempered slightly by the
emotive aspects of the composition, but fear not that sultry tone and timbre
flows strongly within the arrangement, and the added percussion will take one
to a sunset on warm summer beach with ease.
A piece perhaps of a dedication to an old friend or perhaps
lover, the smooth transmission of the guitars both bass and acoustic is so
wonderfully persuasive and blissfully slick, whilst the melody line is filled
with a sweltering tenderness that can only be felt on a late August night.
This is Carbe and
Durand at their talented best; rich in flavour, textures so transient and
textured, and a performance that you only wished you could see live, as such Isabel from the duet has to be yet
another massive hit for the dynamic duo of globally inspired guitar.
