About
Presenting their own compositions, Ralf Siedhoff and Manuel Delgado join Spanish and Indian friends in embarking on a musical journey into the past.
Crossing Roots was released in 2000. With this re-release featuring a new look and remastered sound, we want to help ensure that an important part of cross-border music history is not lost.
“... We read in the booklet that the artists want to trace flamenco to its Indian roots – no small aspiration. But whichever way you look at it, the duo of Ralf Siedhoff and Manuel Delgado manage to pull it off: thanks to a first-rate – no, superb crew, the pilgrimage to India has become the truly open dialogue between cultures and eras that we have long awaited. ... In the need generated by pure, naked enthusiasm, I deliberately trot out a journalistic cliché: this CD is an absolute must-have.” – JAZZPODIUM/Akustik Gitarre
“... a successful meeting of musical cultures and people whose enjoyment during the recording is audible. Crossing Roots is full of spirit and is light years away from the usual insipid fare.” – Journal Frankfurt
