Francis Rimbert - Mephisto

Mephisto from album "Francis Rimbert & Friends, Act. 1"
 "...MEPHISTO, you can hear an acoustic guitar that gives a clear Spanish accent. This theme I composed especially for JUAN GOMIS, the webmaster of my website in Spain as well as the distributor of my albums in Spanish territory. Juan is more than a friend, is a formidable friend with a smile that can light the darkest night" - Francis Rimbert
