An intense Latin jazz fusion combined with a sizzling groove stokes Oscar Lopez` irresistible guitar technique. Armando`s Fire is a recording inspired by the guitarist`s inner voice. "My music is an extension of my soul and life experiences," he explains. "And my albums are the product of this internal and external collaboration." Armando`s Fire captures the passion, gentleness and fire within Lopez` soul and lets it loose through his fingertips. The CD won the 2002 Juno Award Winner for Best Instrumental Album, and was the 2002 SOCAN Hagood Hardy Jazz/Instrumental Award Winner.
