Flamenco Essentials by Gio Israel aims to amplify the unique and lush magic of Flamenco music. Recorded in Grenada, Spain by some of the world’s leading Flamenco musicians, this new collection is an accumulation of over 70 recorded studio hours.

This release presents the charming and mesmerizing percussion of Flamenco music. Full of character and featuring not only bongos, cajon, and congas, but also castañetas, claps, and the sounds of people dancing in Flamenco rhythms. It's a truly unique collection for adding timeless dance percussion to your productions.

Performers on this pack in addition to Gio include Miguel “Cheyenne” Rodriguez, Jose "El Pirata" Cortes, and Luis de Luis. It was recorded by engineer Jose “Petete” Fernandez.

Gio reflected, “Years ago, on one of my tours as a DJ, I was welcomed for the first time at Triana, the Gypsy quarter of Seville and birthplace of Flamenco. I immediately fell in love with the people, tastes, sounds, and vibe that resonated from every part of this small neighborhood. Walking its streets, it was as if music echoed from every wall. I understood that Flamenco is much more than music, it’s a lifestyle.”
