TOP 10 Recording: Luna Blanca’s album “Provence” hits No. 7 on the Top 100 Radio Airplay Charts for October 2010! Worldwide 2010 ZMR Annual Music Awards (www.ZoneMusicReporter.com): In two categories among the top 5: Best Instrumental Album – Acoustic – Best World Album Provence lies in the south eastern corner of France right on the Mediterranean and is beloved by painters who rave about the “soft light” it offers. Renoir, Matisse and Pablo Picasso have all spent time and painted here. Apart from the title, another interesting thing about Luna Blanca is that they actually screen original artwork during their stage performances. The quintessential kings of Nuevo Flamenco, Luna Blanca (founded in 2000) is the brainchild of Germany’s Richard Hecks and Helmut Graebe and features driving guitars, lush arrangements and highly memorable tunes. Their latest work PROVENCE is a delightful 12-track ‘amuse-bouche’ with tunes titled in French and Spanish. Favorites include “Driving,“ a fast paced road tune featuring guitars and flute, “Côte d’Azur” with brilliant vocals and Mediterranean warmth and the sweet sound of “Crème Brûlée .” PROVENCE is a really evocative glimpse into the world of European New Age.
