The singer for and co-founder of Radio Tarifa strikes out on his own with this yummy collection of flamenco-inspired tunes. With strong doses of North Africa and Spain’s Moorish roots. Great vocals and a cool collection of instruments. Really, really good. *1. Mid/up Arabic-Flamenco mix w/cool blend of instruments. 2. Mostly mid w/female backing vox & cool perc/droning horn. 3. Upbeat, driving w/a contemporary rock sound mixed w/N. Africa. *4. Catchy, mid/upbeat Cuban-flavored rumba. *5. Acoustic guitar/vox intro. Growly, mid/upbeat cool vox/palmas. 6. Mostly mid blend of cont & trad instruments in a catchy melody. *7. Mid w/great N. African perc, cool strings, heartfelt vocals. Yum. 8. Fast/mid street flamenco – guitar/palmas/vox/feet. 9. Slow, café-inspired waltz w/piano/accordion. Then spoken poem. 10. Upbeat electronica/rap. Kinda cool. 11. Slow guitar/tabla backing melancholy vocals. Sigh… | ||
