“Elysium” means "the place of perfect happiness and I chose this title because it reflects the state of mind I am in" he says.
Among the most important guitarists Al Di Meola comes to our country to present this album to us and to remind us of his past music.
He was almost 20 years old when Chick Corea invited him to play with his band Return To Forever. In 1974 the young guitarist left immediately after the phone call the house he lived in Boston with a few clothes in a bag and he never returned.
The future was impressive; appearances with Return To Forever in Carnegie Hall, the beginning of a brilliant solo career, the formation of the historic trio with John Mc Laughlin and Paco de Lucia, the long engagement with the music of Astor Piazzolla.
He has since received a lot of distinctions. The same applies for his collaborations with artists such as Frank Zappa, Carlos Santana, Paul Simon, Steve Winwood, Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Gonzalo Rubalcaba, Milton Nascimento and many others.
