"Language of the Spirits" marks the first international release from renowned South American guitarist, Hittar Cuesta. The 11 tracks on this release are a pure display of blazing instrumental guitar inspired by the likes of Tony Macalpine, Vinnie Moore, Joe Satriani and Steve Vai. From the opening Satriani-esque rocker "Steel Birds" to the neo-classical workout of "Labyrinth", Hittar's debut release for Progressive Arts Music is a true feast for fans of jaw dropping guitar acrobatics.
Since moving to Cuenca, Ecuador at the age of 19 to teach, Hittar has had a steady career in music. Hittar's first band, Cruks en Karnak, recorded their debut album for Sony Music and gained much success throughout South America. After a stint in the heavy metal band Falk, Hittar set out on his own and has now brought his debut solo recording to the attention of fans on a much broader scale.
Among his influences, Hittar names Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, David Gilmour, Mark Knopfler and the many legendary classical composers too numerous to mention here. The music on "Language of the Spirits" reflects his diverse influences by delving into Rock, Classical, Jazz and blues; though wrapping them up in a metal inspired package,
CD comes enhanced with bonus MP3's highlighting other releases within the Progressive Arts Music catalog.

I first heard the name Hittar Cuesta from a friend of mine who asked me to check him out. After listening to this CD I thought that his guitar playing was pretty amazing. He has a lot of Joe Satriani in him and at times he sounds like Tony Macalpine or Vinnie Moore when they were in there neo classical days. (Check out Dimensions) It seems that Hittar Cuesta can play any style. I gave the CD 4 stars.
