Jorge Pardo is an excellent saxophonist that has recorded often with percussionist Tino di Geraldo and Bass player Carles Benavent. Their fusion of spanish music and jazz is one of the best I've ever heard. The outstanding talent of the musicians he plays with makes of this record something really special. Mostly instrumental, this is a soft but powerful record.

Her voice and stylistic knowledge have transmitted the legacy of the tradition of singers from the origins of flamenco singing. Her innate resources make her now an essential pillar of flamenco. In this album accompanying guitars Paco Cortés and Pedro Sierra, Talegón and Chocolate de Madrid in 'palmas' and Antonio Carmona in the box. The album brings together a repertoire of classic songs: tangos, tientos, bulerías, seguidiyas, cantiñas, soleares and fandango.
Born in Granada, Morente is the eldest daughter of the late, legendary flamenco singer Enrique Morente and the dancer Aurora Carbonell. She grew up surrounded by flamenco and has since become one of Spain’s most sought-after performers, drawing modern elements of pop and jazz balladry into her music while remaining true to the classic flamenco tradition. Morente’s music has been universally lauded by demanding flamenco connoisseurs and modern rock artists alike for its crystalline timbre and for the singer’s ability to move seamlessly between warm, seductive tones to more raw and expressive phrases. A deep knowledge of the art form, as well as innate musical taste has made Morente a point of reference for aficionados and newcomers to flamenco singing.
