The debut album from this band from Spain.
The band was a sextet with a lineup of percussion, drums, bass, electric guitar, flamenco guitar, banjo, saxophone, flute and vocals.
This band is a new discovery to me. They have just released their second album and a review of that album will be posted here before the end of the month.
Fiebre is a fifty minutes long album in the Spanish folk rock tradition.
There is a lot of both early Spanish symphonic prog from the 1970s, Latin rock, flamenco and Jethro Tull influences.
The frequent flamenco guitars gives this album a very exotic flavour. In this respect, this band is a very original, exotic band to us from the English speaking part of this scene.
There is also a lot of mainstream folk rock here with the emphasis on the rock part of this genre. We get some rock hooks and rock guitar solos.
The Spanish vocals, male vocals, is good and the band deliver some really good music on the whole spectrum from hard to more softly spoken folk rock.
The result is a good album indeed. One both folk and prog rock fans should check out.
