Originality is what you can hear on Eric Kamen’s modern take on traditional flamenco music.

A former New York City wall street executive, Kamen moonlighted as a hip-hop producer and became a multi-instrumentalist at a young age influenced by world music — this led to him creating and collaborating on unique projects with emerging rappers. His new-found fusion of flamenco guitar blended with hip-hop beats sparked interest in a mass following on Myspace when Kamen first uploaded his experimental side project and debut release, Native Unit.

Serenades is a current sound mixing dramatic beats and gypsy flamenco guitar, an eclectic set of fifteen songs. Featuring lead single “A Rose From Russia,” and tracks “The Lost Tribe” and “Tribute To Jimi.”
