This album takes off from where a previous Jordi Savall release, Villancicos y danzas criollas (Creole Dances and Villancicos), left off. Now Savall, aided by his wife and lead vocalist Montserrat Figueras, as well as several of his longtime co-conspirators, has formed a new group, Tembembe Ensamble Continuo, specifically devoted to the Latin American Baroque repertory heard here. The album is accompanied by an impressive 172-page booklet, with all texts in the original language, generally Spanish but with mixtures of Native American and African speech, English, French, Castilian Spanish, German, and Italian, and booklet notes (in all those languages plus Catalan), including an overview of the genres involved plus a historical essay on the culture of the Spanish-colonized Latin-Caribbean region.
This is the best progrock you can get from Spain ! Triana was the most pivotal band that blended symphonic rock and flamenco, the ethnic music from the Andalusian gypsies…
A limited edition of the Camaron de la Isla 'Integral' box-set. It represents a veritable journey through his life and singing. It includes 21 original albums. The first 17 of them were made in recording studios by Camaron from 1969 to 1992 while he was alive. "The album is similar to the previous one, perhaps a bit less acoustic, with Paco de Lucia and Tomatito on guitars, the productions of Pachon and the musical direction of Paco".

The first 17 of them were made in recording studios by Camaron from 1969 to 1992 while he was alive. It was the "boom" period of "Las Grecas", and some of their styles can be heard here, mostly in the "bulerias". "Soy caminante" was his album released in 1974. The picture on the front jacket cover is the same one used in the previous album, but with another shade and design. "Camaron de la Isla" appears in larger type than Paco de Lucia, whose "special collaboration" is reduced to "collaboration". Ramon de Algeciras continues to play second guitar. Antonio Sanchez still appears as the author in the credits.

"The flamenco voice of the "cantaor" is sweet and inflicts pain as never before, and the guitars …never have accompanying guitars been heard like this on a record. Simply superb"
