"Montreal guitarist Lansig Artem is [...] an artist, that has studied and experimented with a variety of musical idioms, which he then blends within the context of the Flamenco-jazz style. This personalized approach to modern instrumental music can be heard on his 2011 album Desert Winds, a collection of 14 Flamenco/jazz inspired pieces that feature high levels of creativity and improvisation from all involved.

[...]

What makes these songs so interesting from a compositional standpoint is the wide range of influences that creep into Artem’s writing and arranging, all while maintaining a strong hold on the Flamenco and jazz genres.

[...]

Overall, Desert Winds is an interesting and engaging record of Flamenco and jazz inspired tunes. Full of creativity and energetic performances, the album is a strong artistic statement from the Montreal guitarist, one that is sure to expand his audience and bring his music to the wider, global community."
