New Album “RAYO” by Peter Madlem (signed CD featuring 11 tracks)

About the title track:

The original version of Rayo was commissioned in 1972 by the wonderful guitarist, Turan Kamal. The piece was forgotten after his youthful and untimely passing. In the 1980s, I had played it for the exceptionally talented Randy Tico (to whom this version is dedicated) who strongly urged I do something more with the piece. His prompt remained in the back of my mind, waiting for the right opportunity. That came with my introduction, three years ago, to master guitarist/composer/arranger Craig Sharmat. Craig agreed to serve as my producer and to create the string arrangements for a larger collection of my guitar compositions that includes Rayo.
