Flamenco y Rhumba Nueva

Cerro Negro

Spanish guitars, blended with Latin percussion, create the gypsy-influenced acoustic sound of Cerro Negro.

Combining sounds from the roots of Flamenco music with cutting-edge instrumentation and orchestration, Cerro Negro's music embraces a variety of rhythms and styles, including Flamenco, Rhumba, Jazz, Ambient, Worldbeat and Pop.

Cerro Negro's passionate sound transcends generations and appeals to a wide variety of musical tastes because of its unique coupling of traditional elements of Flamenco guitar -- like using hand techniques instead of a pick -- with an exotic blend of Congas, Cajon, Djembe, Clave and Palmas.

Cerro Negro includes guitarists Gopal Slavonic and Frank Giordano, and percussionist John Martin III.

"People hear Flamenco and they think of something ethereal – we show them that it's not. It's a likable, easily accessible form of music – the blues of Spain."
Frank Giordano

"It's about embracing the whole experience, pain and joy. Flamenco also is like blues in that it can be blended with other forms of music. It's a resilient form."
John Martin
