Javier Marías,berta Isla

El otro lado is a Spanish horror comedy internet television series created by Berto Romero for Movistar Plus+.

Isla Eckinger, born 1939 in Dornach near Basel, Switzerland, is not a "modern" or "old-fashioned" musician. He's a man beyond fashion. Since he switched from his ancestral instrument, the trombone, to the double bass in the early sixties, he has quickly become one of the most sought-after partners of European musicians such as Dusko Goykovich, George Gruntz, Joe Haider, Stephane Grapelli as well as Waldron, Buck Clayton and many others.

Based on the poetic text written by Luciano González Sarmiento, mezzo Marina Rodríguez-Cusí delivers a stunning performance of La isla desolada. Recorded live, Rodríguez-Cusí brilliantly showcases the beautiful complexity of this music.

Rumba flamenco, or rumba gitana, or rumba catalana, is an upbeat style of music with influences from spanish flamenco, salsa and pop. It was made very popular worldwide by the Gipsy Kings. Putumayo presents in this wondeful album many artists, mainly from the Catalan region of northeastern Spain and southwestern France, who drink from the same musical well as the Gipsy Kings, yet less recognized on the international stage. Included you will find a rich booklet in three languages with extensive informations and nice photos, about the artists and the songs. Enjoy another putumayo quality selection.

Javier Santiago is a true pianist of the new millenium. His music speaks to audiences of every age, background and gender. Santiago is an artistic visionary who embraces traditions in music while forging ahead with innovations in new sounds, technology and concepts. The piano has been always been one of his main mediums of expression and composition - but his music consists of all instrumentations - ranging from big bands, string quartets and the acoustic piano trio to hip-hop beats and the integration of synthesizers, keyboards and other electronics.

Organist Javier Jiménez bring us his personal selection of Bach “Chorales” on this album from HR Recordings.

I was born in Fribourg (Switzerland) in 1975 and began my special relationship with music at an early age: my grandmother, Sara Guzmán, was a concert pianist and composer and taught my father to play. I spent my musical childhood practising and improvising with him. It was during those years that I learned the most important lesson: music is something more than the score – it’s a living creature and so needs to undergo constant change.
