Like its creator, Malaga is ambitious, romantic and
fervently experimental. This exotic recording captures the complex essence of Spain, while providing a revealing new glimpse into the mastery of Armik. It's splendid arrangements notwithstanding, the album is first and foremost a showcase for Armik's awe-inspiring musicianship. Says the guitarist: "When people hear my music they say 'this is Armik,' because the sounds and the rhythms are different. That's how I like it." What makes Armik's songs so special is his writing ability to compose, without lyrics, music that inspires.
