Flamenco De Vuelta E Ida

Gazpacho Andalu is a music project devised by a group of New York City based composers and songwriters with completely different backgrounds. They came together to create a more accessible sound for people who love the groove and soulful qualities of Flamenco without losing its authenticity. They use the rhythms and textures of North African, Caribbean and Hispanic American music, blending them into the language of this Andalusian art form. Gazpacho Andalu also emphasizes the beauty and importance of Flamenco poetry with recited translations of the lyrics of their songs to show audiences understand Flamenco is not only a dance form but also a poetic expression of human feelings. Flamenco De Vuelta E Ida is their 2006 CD, which features the vocals of Flamenco singer Alfonso Cid and the incandescent flamenco guitar playing of composer and arranger Arturo Martinez.
