Ottmar Liebert’s global success can be attributed to a
myriad of things - his creative vision, his determination, and a strong sense
of melody. His musical style is a mix of Spanish, Mexican and World elements,
featuring strong melodies tinged with a shade of melancholy, and balanced with
upbeat rhythms.
Liebert founded the first incarnation of his band, Luna
Negra, in 1989. His debut album, recorded for less than $3,000 on an old analog
machine in a shack beside a gravel pit, this CD became an international
sensation, establishing Liebert's unique border-style flamenco, and becoming
the best-selling instrumental acoustic guitar album of all time.
Liebert has since become one of the most successful
instrumental artists of the past decades, entertaining audiences around the
world and releasing a catalog of 33 classic albums including live recordings,
an orchestral album for Sony Classical, a binaural surround sound recording,
remix albums, a lullaby and a flamenco-reggae album. Ottmar Liebert and Luna
Negra have played two concerts with the New Mexico Philharmonic, both of which
have broken attendance records for the orchestra. During his career, he has
played more than two thousand concerts worldwide. Ottmar Liebert has been
nominated for five Grammy awards.
Cost: $40 - $65
