notes

"Federico Miranda'a Baula project is something worth listening to. This young guitarist has the makings of being a world class player. He plays with conviction and sensitivity. More importantly the compositions are well formed. It's hard to make instrumental electric music sound anything other than fusion. Federico Miranda achieves this. His music is real and comes from the soul"

-Dominic Miller (guitarist with Sting)

"Baula Project" offers emotional melodies and amazing performances by a unique ensemble of Costa Rican musicians including Miranda on all guitars, two-time Grammy winner Walter Flores on piano and flute, Gil Jarquín (Malpais) on drums, Mario Alvarez on bass, and 'Tapado' (Editus) on percussion.

Original music was written by Miranda and also includes a new arrangement for electric guitar of 'In Aranjuez with your love' based on the Second Movement of the 'Concierto de Aranjuez' by Spanish composer Joaquin Rodrigo.

The music on "Baula Project" was inspired by the oceans of Costa Rica and is dedicated to protect the Leatherback Turtle. Part of the sales is donated to the "Las Baulas" Marine National Park and the Marviva Foundation.

  • Excelente disco, merece unas ocho estrellas, más bien ¡je!
    author: Diego Arias

    Es genial, don Federico es un genio de la guitarra y este proyecto demuestra que no sólo es un grande del rock, sino trasciende este género y parece que domina la música en todas sus expresiones. Las piezas del disco son muy inteligentes y profundas; y a veces parece cantar con su guitarra. Genial disco, gran propuesta.

  • A more than worthy debut
    author: Daniel Miguel

    Hailing from Costa Rica, Federico Miranda brings us a rather exciting mix of scorching yet compelling riffing and delicate, refreshingly creative arrangements. Point in case, “Noreste” with its heavy, distorted power chords and all the serene flute playing. Arguably one of the best tracks of the lot. One thing’s for sure, this CD is guaranteed to not only satisfy die-hard guitar connoisseurs (who’ll find plenty to sink their teeth into here as Federico’s a very capable and nimble player) but also (and most importantly) those who enjoy strong, memorable melodies and hooks (and who at the end of the day won’t be trying to determine whether that fast flurry of notes was swept or alternate picked and if they’ll be able to master it at two times its speed). Kudos to Federico Miranda, may he continue to dazzle us with his excellent song writing.

  • Un continuo viaje que nos transporta en mente y alma
    author: Tomas Casanova (Revista Mellotron)

    Baula Project, su música, es un continuo viaje que nos transporta en mente y alma y nos lleva de la mano por pasajes muy ricos en formas y colores; inteligentes y bien logrados espacios cargados de mucho calor y sentimiento que lejos de ser un trabajo centrado en la guitarra, es un compendio de temas que se pasean por los terrenos del Jazz/Rock-Fusión bañados por y con la energía del Rock y que se enriquece y posee un sello muy especial y distintivo dado por el uso de instrumentos varios percusivos (...) Obra muy recomendable sin lugar a dudas, un paso importante para y dentro de la escena costarricense.

  • Recomendable absolutamente.
    author: Gustavo Serrano (CDK) Chile

    (Para review completo visite www.cdl.ck) Un disco que me sorprendió gratamente, y me reafirma que música de excelencia hay en todo el mundo. Además, el álbum tiene una producción y sonido realmente de lujo y muy bien balanceada, lo que te hace apreciar todos los instrumentos en la mayor de sus magnitudes. Siempre he visto a los centroamericanos como gente relajada y amable, y esta placa lo reafirma completamente. Un muy buen descubrimiento, y un verdadero agrado de escuchar. Recomendable absolutamente.

  • distinctive electic guitar melodies sing stories through music
    author: amelia

    This CD is perfect for listening to while enjoying a peaceful moment. The guitar melodies really reach out and say something to the listener. Each song fits nicely with the one before and after it, and this makes it very easy and enjoyable to listen to the entire way through. Lovely.
