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.
