Enrique Coria's second solo recording for Acoustic Disc is a mixture of solo, duo, and trio settings by a variety of South American composers. Producer David Grisman, who earlier hired Coria for his quintet, is a special guest on "Delicado," engaging the guitarist in some terrific interplay in this upbeat piece. Coria arranged Lito Vitale's "Milonga del 71" for a duet with another Grisman sideman, flutist Matt Eakle.
