Frippada Andaluza by Malabriega

Frippada Andaluza by Malabriega, a Seville band dedicated to progressive rock with a clear and specific interpretation.

The mood is influenced by the passion of Andalusia, but this isn't a purely folk album. It's contemporary progressive rock that blends flamenco, jazz, and rock influences. The production is excellent, the rhythm section is very precise, and the keyboards are excellent, but above all, in my opinion, the vocals are great. The guitar parts are also beautiful.

The singing is in Spanish and very passionate, not forcedly theatrical, but with great interpretive ability. It's the album's true strength, with thrilling performances by Juan Castro.

There are songs whose flamenco origins emerge forcefully, yet perfectly within the album's rock context.

A fusion of styles that brings progressive rock to embrace cultural traditions beyond the "tradition" of prog, now over fifty years old but continually renewing itself, as this album clearly demonstrates.

Great album and therefore highly recommended!!!
