We welcome to our studios the Spanish multi-instrumentalist Daniel Minimalia, who has for the second time been nominated for several Hollywood Music in Media Awards. Two songs from his recently released second album, "Arenas de Luna" (sands of the moon), have received nominations in the category of best world music song, and the video version of one the songs has also received a nomination. Daniel Minimalia talks to Justin Coe about his music, which is almost purely instrumental, and goes so far as to divulge the secret of his success: practice, practice, practice... We hear several tracks from the new album, and Daniel plays a song for us live in the studio. For more on this up-and-coming songwriter and performer from the northern Spanish region of Galicia--who will be attending the Hollywood Music in Media Awards ceremony on November 11th at The Fonda Theatre ( www.hmmawards.com/ )--you can visit the artist's website at: www.danielminimalia.com .
