About the debut album, released by World Music Network
/ Riverboat Records:
The
whole album was recorded in 3 days at Wavelength Studios in the UK.
The album was then produced and mixed by Glenn Sharp and mastered at
POB Audio. The album includes all the very best from ?Calaita
Flamenco Son' with traditional flamenco palos such as ?alegrias',
?bulerias' and ?seguiriyas', and the more popular sounds of flamenco
rumba, including the amazing song ?un mensajito' by Chico Pere,
always a popular encore at their live shows. The album has a little
something for everyone. The aim of this album was to capture the
energy and spontaneity of their live shows and this is achieved perfectly.
