Music: Mario Parga returns

The last time I saw a new Mario Parga album hit the air was 2007, and the album “Entranced” was just amazing.

Here it is, eighteen years later, and a post I wrote last year on how my appreciation of Mario’s playing highlighting the epic track Valse Diabolique from the Alchemists compilation album just got a new comment.

A comment from the man himself. Mario dropped by to personally alert me to his latest hitting the stands on May 20, 20251.

Anyhow, as I draft this, I am listening to the complete album, and so far, all the tracks are killer. Great riffs, tasty lead breaks, and enough shred to keep an old guitar playing wanna-be thrilled.

I am linking to Bayou Fantome, it is a delightful amalgam of a killer groove with enough candy tossed in to keep the head bobbing in time with the track.

I hope that track agrees with you.

Here’s to Shadows and Light, and a player’s player. Mario Parga. Well done sir!
