Pepe Romero, together with his family, The Romero Guitar Quartet, spent the early part of their career elevating the guitar to the forefront of classical music. For their lifetime of dedication, they were knighted by the King of Spain. Now with six-time GRAMMY® winner Daniel Ho, Pepe Romero embarks on a similar journey to help pioneer a new genre: classical 'ukulele.

Perhaps the most beautiful CD I have ever heard!   The classic guitar tunes are all the more lovely with the addition of the ukulele.

EXCERPT FROM THE OCEAN MAGAZINE (APRIL/MAY 2016)

This is a story that began sixty-five years ago, when Spanish classical guitarist, Pepe Romero Sr., then only 7 years of age, first set foot on the concert stage at the Teatro Lope de Vega in Sevilla, Spain.  In 1957, young Pepe Sr. and his family escaped the oppressive regime of Spain's General Francisco Franco, by defecting to the United States.  Over an incredibly long career, Pepe Sr. has performed both as a solo artist and with his father, Celedonio and two brothers, Celin and Angel, in the celebrate Romeros Guitar Quartet.  He also fathered and raised a son, Pepe Romero, Jr., whom after 20 years of fine tuning his craft, has established himself as one of the world's premier classical guitar and ukulele makers.  This position naturally led Pepe Jr. coming in contact with and receiving custom guitar and ukulele orders from world renowned performers the likes of Daniel Ho, Ben Harper, Jack Johnson, Paco de Lucia and his father Pepe Romero Sr.

Recently, Pepe Jr. combined his skill in stringed instrument design and construction with close contacts inside the tightest circle of historic performers in recording a ground breaking classical music CD entitled Aloha España.

Experienced musicians who've played Pepe Romero Jr. guitars and ukuleles will hear and feel the tonal resemblance in his family of instruments.  "The duet of 'Romance' was recorded on two Pepe Romero 6-String Mini-Parlor Guitars I designed for Romero Creations," Pepe Jr. said of Aloha España's production.  "My father performed all the guitar parts on my custom made guitars.  Daniel played all the 'ukulele parts on my custom 'ukuleles and 'Pavana' was recorded on my custom Little Pepe Guilele."  The guilele is a hybrid instrument combining design patterns of a guitar and 'ukulele.

Daniel Ho: "The recording process was a special situation.  Usually, there is a fair amount of work involved in blending instruments together to complement the frequencies they emphasize and lack.  Because these guitars and 'ukuleles were built by the same person, each piece of wood was tuned, braced and designed to have the sonic characteristics Pepe Jr. sought as a a world-class luthier.  Indeed, they blended perfectly.  The mixing was done in the instruments instead of by an audio engineer!  This is one of the most well-balanced sounding albums I've recorded, and so much of that is due to the fact that w were able to see these notes through from the very beginning (the building of the instruments played) to the end (mixing and mastering).  Aside from setting up mics in front of the instruments, very little needed to be done to achieve the quality you hear on Aloha España."
