Hi,
I heard this band doing a Bulerias last night on the BBC World Service.
Very interesting and rhythmic stuff.
Anyone got their album(s)?
Are all the tracks good?

cheers

Ron

Hmm, I've heard a bulerias and also a zambra, both quite nice. They seem to have a sound of their own. I think by combining flamencoguitar with a small cuban guitar (name escapes me.. tres?). They are playing here in Sweden the 1 of March. I think I'll cath that performance.

I have their album, Homenaje a la memoria de Diego del Gastor, and I like it very much, after a little period of acclimatation to their very special sound - due mostly to the cuban tres (thanks MrMagenta, was wondering what was this thing sounding as a 12 steel strings with capo on 14th fret). There is also an oud or a luth ?
Note that the Cuban tres is much more heard on the album than the flamenco guitar. There is some cante on a few songs.

They have plenty of Moorish influences, some latin american references and for sure Moron style all the way, as far as I can hear. All the songs are good for me on the album. Kinda refreshing, a step on the side from "mainstream" nuevo flamenco...

I enjoyed seeing them at a bodega gig during the Jerez festival last year. It is a tres, played with a pick I believe and very enjoyable live performance.

Hi Ron, Happy New Year to you

I saw them in Jerez last year same time as Simon and I loved them and bought the album, which I happily recommend. Remember in Jerez during the festival you are flooded with flamenco so you have to be good to stand out and they did. In fact they got a standing ovation afterwards which Estela said she had never witnessed in Jerez, especially for something that could really be considered fusion. Saldy on the album you dont get the dancing, so am looking forward to the DVD of their live show. They have been touring almost non stop since the album's release.

I love these guys. The guitarist, Paco de Amparo, is Diego del Gastor's grand nephew. They basically play a lot of Diego's material incorporated with a guy playing a tres cubano which really adds a nice element to the music. I have both albums and all tracks are good. They just released their second, Cal.

I saw them in Sevilla around february, I didnt know what to expect and I was blown away. Their sound is definitly moorish, but still has a traditionnal sound to it, mostly due to the diego del gastor influences. The dancer was also the best male dancer I've seen in my 3 month in andalucia. I have their CD and altough its not for everyone, I really think it's worth a try.
