About the debut album, released by World Music Network / Riverboat
Records Early 2014:
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.
