“One of the very best acoustic guitarists in the world…music of the most exquisite order.”

A Fingerstyle Guitar Journey: A family-friendly, multi-cultural fingerstyle guitar presentation
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydskUnE1xsA
Over a long and storied career Michael DeLalla has been serving up a delicious brew of solo guitar compositions and arrangements of traditional tunes gathered worldwide, steeped with his classical training and seasoned with his jazz, Celtic and folk/world stylings. His fluency on classical, 12-string, and steel-string acoustic guitar showcases gifted improvisation and dazzling technical facility that never sacrifices the richness and poignancy of his compositions.
Michael’s family-friendly, multi-cultural concert performance includes his wry, sometimes irreverent observations and stories of the experiences that are behind the pieces. An evening with Michael isn’t just a collection of instrumental and vocal works but also an engaging narrative of his travels and travails found in his varied musical habitats, from a capella kan e diskan in Breton Gaelic, to evocations of Japanese koto music and the North African o’ud, to tweaking the nose of the classical music world with his raucous “Piece for Steel Drum (If I Played Steel Drum)”.
“…a sublime and uniquely crafted sonic landscape… DeLalla creates a sonic vibrancy on this CD that is rich, remarkable and revelatory.”
