July 2005 Featured Artist: The Musical Sea

This Musical Sea excursion spotlights internationally acclaimed guitarist Alfredo Muro, who weaves intricate melodies and naturalistic rhythms with the sounds of Zihuatanejo, Mexico’s magnificent coastline. Zihuatanejo, pronounced zee-watt-a-NEH-ho, originates from the Nahuatl word, meaning “place of women.”

This picturesque village on Mexico’s Pacific coastline is part of the state of Guerrero’s “sun triangle” and has become a popular tourist destination, featuring pristine beaches, world-class resorts, and outstanding fishing. It also provides the perfect background for Alfredo’s soulful, understated performance, transporting the listener to a place where the sun shines brightly over soothing ocean waves and cool tropical breezes, a place where one can escape from life’s hectic pace. Journey with Alfredo on a tour of the senses, and let the cadence of the Pacific Ocean melt away tension and stress.
