Triana

Triana is the most legendary progressive rockband in Spain. Formed in 1974, the band were known for blending elements of progressive rock and flamenco music to make a style known as Andalusian rock or flamenco rock. "Quiero Contarte" is a triple album paying homage to Triana featuring, on the one hand a selection of the most emblematic songs from the 7 recorded albums by the legendary Andalusian rock band on two of the CDs. On the other, a CD featuring the album "Tributo a Jesús de la Rosa". This CD, produced by Gonzalo García-Pelayo, features 17 cover versions of their songs and played by famous modern spanish musicians (andaluz bands Alameda & Medina Azahara among them).

"Este vinilo supone el máximo exponente del rock español. Yo nunca me lo he encontrado ripeado en la red y menos aún con un cartucho de altas prestaciones. Es una ocasión única para los que no lo conocen, especialmente para los del mundo anglosajón, porque parece que toda la música ‘rock’ gira en torno a él y eso no es cierto, hay excepciones, como el presente vinilo. Sinceramente, citando el tópico de llevarse música a una isla desierta, yo no tengo la menor duda, este vinilo sería uno de ellos.
A la memoria de Jesús de la Rosa, sevillano y andaluz universal. "

TRIANA is the most legendary and pivotal progressive rock band in Spain. Their stunning debut-album "El Patio" (1975) was a seminal blend of flamenco and prog rock and paved the way to flamenco-inspired prog rock in Spain, culminating in bands like AZAHAR, CAI, ALAMEDA, QUALDAQUIVIR, MEZQUITA and MEDINA AZAHARA…

Essential: A masterpiece of progressive rock music.
Yet another stupendous artwork sleeve depicting some nightmarish scene with creatures that Salvadore Dali imitating Jerome Bosch would’ve drawn slightly different, but the effect is there – I just wish that the full “picture” was presented once in its entirety.

"Triana was a Spanish progressive rock band from the 70's and early 80's, heavily influenced by flamenco, hailing from Andalusia. It was composed of Jesús de la Rosa Luque (voice and keyboards), Eduardo Rodríguez Rodway (voice and guitar) and Juan José Palacios "Tele" (drums and percussion)."

For her second album, smoky-voiced Londoner Andreya Triana moves away from the smouldering soul of her Bonobo-produced debut, Lost Where I Belong (2010) into the pop-soul arena. It’s a distinctly British sound: the clapping, bells and backing vocals of Gold and Lullaby hint at producer Matt Hales’s influence (he’s also worked with Lianne La Havas and Paloma Faith) and Triana’s strong, understated vocals recall the husky tones of Amy Winehouse, although without the sass. While enjoyable, Giants doesn’t take the genre to new heights; it’s easy-listening music with a sprinkling of bouncy, singalong tracks.
