O’s Notes: Guitarist Miguel Espinoza blends leads Flamenco Fusion with Dianne Betkowski (cello), Lynn Baker (sax), Randy Baker (b), including generous doses of percussion from Andy Skellenger (tabla, Cajon) and Mario Moreno (timbales, congas, bongo) that make Veneta pop! They usher us in on “Cayendo” raising our pulse along the way. The music melds Afro-Cuban Jazz with Turkish and Indian classical genres to arrive at a fresh, exotic sound. “Happy” and the title track are among the best selections.
