"Lluis Gomez's tunes and tasteful spin on the 5-string banjo turns ears. A wonderful journey through the gamut of new acoustic stylings, with some creative Iberian spice." Jake Shepps

"Lluis's music is balanced. It is reminiscent of Bluegrass yet is
somehow beyond; Fresh and original, yet holds just enough common
ground with tradition."
Tom Nechville

Lluis has a gift for creating unique and appealing compositions for the banjo. This record treats the listener to a very enjoyable combination of sounds."
Pete Wernick ("Dr. Banjo")
