Jorge Pardo is a musician who needs little introduction, his musical career and the cast of musicians with whom he has touched is simply stunning, it makes your interpretive be extraordinarily open and willing to engage in musical adventures of varying degrees. Within these adventures is his latest recording, stories of Radha and Krishna, a job that has some basis in Hindu culture (specifically the mythology of love between Radha and Krishna) but raised with bases and electronic sequences, and even scratch body; an approach where the groove and rhythm take over the role of the album from start to finish. All this cast of sounds are interspersed with two languages that Pardo knows and dominates to perfection, as a primary source flamenco and jazz.
”Huellas” tastes like Jazz and flamenco winds, it is full of freshness and vitality, and somehow, brings together leading composer with the distilled and concentrated Flamenco essence. An overview of this art seen from the outside to inside and from inside out. A flamenco feeling between the sound of a jazz band. A vision of improvisation with new references. Meeting and dispersion at the same compass. An execution for those who feel, breathe and know these fundamentals, which are none others than the deepest soul where there is no time or place.
Born in Granada in 1983, Sergio Pamies is one of the most promising young Spanish musicians of the present day. The album begins with “Borrachito” (“Tipsy”), the title song of the disc, allowing the key of the very personal synthesis of jazz and flamenco to enter, a synthesis that characterizes this artist. The song is a very catchy one in which the piano improvisation supports the subtle and exciting background of hand clapping, cajón, and drums. The elegant voice of José Cortés “The Pirate” creates a perfect counterpoint that finishes with an exhilarating celebration by way of the “bulerías”: “borrachito, borrachito/ tu amor a mí me tiene borrachito” (“Tipsy, tipsy/ your love has got me tipsy”).
his album is in the vein of their debut LP featuring a wonderful and exciting blend of symphonic rock and flamenco. This ethnic music comes from Andalusia where the poor gypsies sublimated their misery into music, this often culminated in very emotional results…
Hijo de Antonio Sánchez Pecino, de madre portuguesa y hermano del cantaor Pepe de Lucía. "Mi padre se iba a buscar la vida por las noches a las fiestas y siempre amanecía en casa con flamencos; mi hermano Pepe y mi hermana María también desde chiquitos han estado vinculados a este mundo. Vivíamos en La Bajadilla, un barrio muy gitano, siempre había alguien en casa cantando o tocando." Comenzó sus estudios de guitarra a los seis años. «A mi padre se lo debo todo pues me obligó a tocar desde niño cuando uno no tiene capacidad para decidir lo que quiere ser en la vida y necesitas a alguien que te empuje y te señale el camino. Eso fue lo que él hizo, entre otras cosas porque no tenía dinero para mandarme a la escuela. Tuve que buscar trabajo y llevar un sueldo a la casa».
