_____P R E S S _____

» What distinguishes the musician who lived for many years in Centro-America and Spain is, that he succeeds in credibly staging rock and blues phrasing with the indian Sitar.
As well he presents himself as a virtuoso guitarist, who knows how to create unique timbres.

Another strong point are above-average songs, which partially are very catchy, but never shallow.
Payutas voice has a pleasant sound, gentle and fragile.
He also integrates 'World' influences and occasionally a touch of Latin flair. «
