Triana

Andreya Triana owes the existence of this album to a chance meeting with Simon Green, aka Bonobo, who featured her on his Black Sands album and then offered to produce her first full-length effort. The result is a debut album of impressive beauty and maturity, one that documents a long musical and personal voyage fraught with heartbreak, but never succumbs to self-indulgent sentiment or confessional mawkishness. Part of what keeps things tight is Green's production style. The setting he creates for "Draw the Stars" is both completely unique (marimbas, strings, unidentifiable percussion) and straightforwardly beautiful, hinting at funkiness without stating it explicitly. He gets much more outspokenly funky on the horn-driven "Up in Fire," and torchy on "Daydreamers," and jazzy on "Far Closer," and his arrangements are almost invariably brilliant…

Javier Ruibal is a composer, guitarist and Spanish singer born in El Puerto de Santa María, Cádiz on May 15, 1955, is also the author of his own texts and arranger of his creations. Converge in their music styles such as flamenco, Sephardic and North African music, jazz, rock, etc.. On 28 February 2007 he received the Medal of Andalusia in recognition of his career. In his writings there is a clear link with the Spanish poetry, especially poets of the Generation of '27 as Rafael Alberti and Federico García Lorca and more recent poets, has also point to the works of classical composers such as Erik Satie.

CD-reissue of the amazing '75 debut LP by this well-known group that blended progressive, symphonic and flamenco roots. The album also features the hit 'Abre La Puerta'. This ethnic music comes from Andalusia where the poor gypsies sublimated their misery into music, often with very emotional results. The songs on 'El Patio' deliver a unique tension between the flamenco elements and the electric guitar and keyboards. This CD-version includes four previously unissued live cuts.

It is the sixth and final LP of Triana. The three items signed by Jesus de la Rosa hinted at a revival of the group, a return to origins, but unfortunately a car accident took the life of Jesus.

"Sixth and last album of the spanish group Triana. When it seemed that the group returned to the brilliance of his early days, a fatal accident ends the life of Jesús.
What a pity, Jesús, what a pity."
