Al Di Meola - Mediterranean Sundance/Río Grande - Live at Berklee Valencia Campus

“Mediterranean Sundance/Río Grande” is an ensemble track composed and produced by Al Di Meola and Paco de Lucía in 1980, which resulted from Al Di Meola's "Mediterranean Sundance" included in his 1977 album Elegant Gypsy and "Río Ancho", a track first featured on Paco de Lucia's 1976 album Almoraima.

The July 7th concert 'La Nit de Berklee' was held on a floating stage set over one of the lakes surrounding the Hemisfèric at the City of Arts and Sciences. An extraordinary farewell to the class of 2017-2018.

IN August 2010. my daughter and I went to see Rodrigo Y Gabriela, a young Mexican couple who are outstanding guitarists in their own right, at the Greek Theatre in LA. Their final guest artist for the evening (they had 3), Al Di Meola, came out and sat in with them, performing Mediterranean Sundance as a trio with him featured! To say it was outstanding would be a huge understatement! My daughter and I each heard something new, different and brilliant that evening!!!

I’ve had a few drinks and watched this video. I’ve heard of Al Di Meola and knew of his talent but never listened to his music often. I’m listen to mostly hard core music. I love all music. But I almost stood up and clapped as if I was at the concert when the song ended. That was amazing.

[daslous]

Oh my!! Now it doesn't get any better than that and fire flew from his fingertips as he rosined up that guitar!! MELTDOWN!!!!

[katherineelizabeth]

Al Di Meola, maravilloso, desde Chile un gran abrazo fraterno 👏💃

[kevinkilduff]

Man, oh, man, this utterly beautiful. What a collection of talent, fronted by the Jedi of the 6-string, Al D.!

[gdionwood]

Incredible group of musicians with Al! Just brilliant!

[matteocrotti]

La bravura non si discute.
Ma con Paco era nel mio cuore, per cui Mediterranean la preferisco con lui!❤

[ReginaTeresaRocioli]

si, el mas grande, gran Paco, maestro

[thenostra-ramos]

I’ve been blessed to see this incredible arrangement performed by Al and the many over the years. I rarely miss an event if anywhere remotely close. I did not see this version live. I wish I had! Remarkably encouraging and stoic at the same time. Has been and will forever be in my top 5 until the day the music nymph decides my fate!

[Cinemagoer_]

Masterpiece by Al! He must really miss Paco!

[Bojanmarsetic]
