Tabletom - Rayya (1983)

The second album from this band from Spain.

The band was a quintet on this album with a lineup of drums, bass, violin, guitars, flute, sax and vocals. 

Their debut album was a mix of everything from jazz to eclectic prog. The band was a fusion/jazz band. 

The band has released altogether seven studio albums and I am reviewing all of them this winter.

The music on this album........Take a big chunk of Spanish folk rock, add some old hard rock, then add a lot of psych rock, a bit of Spanish pop, a lot if eclectic prog and then add fusion and jazz on the top of that again.

The result is pretty loony and colourful. It is also very Latin and Spanish. That pretty much helped by some funny, insane Spanish male vocals.

The music sounds very exotic and a bit alien to no-fun people like myself from the British Isles and Northern Europe. 

This is a funny album and the quality is decent enough. It is well worth checking out too. Just be prepared for some insane sax and flute solos. Of them, there are plenty of on this album.
