One of the many world-class entertainer who perform each year at the Garlic Festival no one is more anticipated or appreciated that you. It must look wonderful to look out at the audience and see 25,000 people truly enjoy your music. As a festival producer, it is of the utmost important to select not just good talent, but to select the caliber of performer that will ensure the audience leaving the event having being well entertained, and anticipating next year’s festival. You are definitely one such performer….

Here’s a colorful and rather exotic venture into the land of flamenco and world guitar, something with which Nocy Karkour (just call him Nocy) is more than a little familiar, being an accomplished musician who’s performed with such great talent as Rod Stewart, Jon Anderson of the rock group Yes, Kenny G, and Larry Coryell. My focus here on Rise, this “best of Nocy” release, was mostly on his highly charged Latin pieces, Latin music being a weakness of mine. A couple of the more world/Eastern-influenced tunes like “Mirage Sensual” didn’t quite work for me, but they were in the minority, as this album shines a brilliant light on not only the artist’s writing and production skills but on his grasp of diversity, substance, and cultural flair.

Rise

Engaging and awe-inspiring a talent … his music is a blend of classical, flamenco, gypsy (he played with the Gypsy Kings before their fame); the guitar comes alive in his hands..Steve Alcorn, Pasadena Weekly…
