Album Notes & Community Reviews

An unprecedented crossover project that aggressively merged traditional Andalusian vocal techniques with dense, heavily distorted rock instrumentation. The ambitious undertaking centered around interpreting the poetry of Federico Garc铆a Lorca and the songwriting of Leonard Cohen. Its controversial debut severely polarized flamenco purists, yet ultimately established a profound legacy for avant-garde cultural fusion in Spain.
