Spain

Here, Camilo takes meets up with renowned flamenco guitarist, Tomatito. Two great rhythm instrumentalist. One can only imagine how difficult it is to arrange for instruments which practically share the same range. However, together there is nothing these two magnificent musicians cannot achieve. Being Camilo's first album since Thru My Eyes, he seems a bit more laxed and only uses is percussive flare on La Vacilona.

The duo starts off with the introduction to Spain on a separate due to it's elonglated soloing. Like in a concert, after an appropriate timing, they coming in on the blazing line which opens up the tune. Camilo and Tomatito incorporate a new triplet rhythm into the interlude section of Spain as well as some new chord changes. After amaming funky solos, they take fours where they "battle" each other before finally heading out. They then head into a Latin jazz standard, Besame Mucho. Here Tomatito may improvise a little while still making sure the melody is audible before he fades away leaving the stage for Camilo. After Camilo, uses his ballad improvisational skills, Tomatito joins back in to conclude the piece. Camilo and Tomatito make an arrangement for a composition he wrote for his son. This flamenco piece follows the same format of solo as they duo did with Spain, with Camilo making use of the bass notes on the piano. Camilo follows up with a song he composed for the soundtrack of a the movie ''Two Much. ''Both musicians take extrodinary solos which can make someone almost cry if listened to enough times. Para Troilo y Salgan picks the pace back up where Camilo makes his virtuosity noticable before he stops playing leaving the stage to Tomatito, who drags out a romantic Spanish solo. La Vacilona is an all out jam by Tomatito. Before you know it Camilo and Tomatito are tearing up the studio with a percussive lick during their fours before an outro leaving one astonished. They conclude the album with Aire de Tang, rather ominous tune which ends on a chord which never resolves.
