Free Music Notes for Son de la Frontera
Free Music Review: Top-flight modern flamenco
Hit: 5 Stars
Raw-boned, energetic Spanish flamenco, with a warm stylistic twist. Guitarist Raul Rodriguez introduces the double-stringed Cuban tres guitar into the flamenco ouvre, and the cross-cultural experiment pays high dividends. The mellifluous tres, which lends itself to melodic improvisation, adds a fluidity to the ofttimes severe flamenco style, while the crushing muscularity of flamenco gives the tres a bit of a goose, demanding it be played with more authority and force. Mostly, though, this is a traditionalist album, with Rodriguez and his cohorts taking up the mantle from one of Seville's master musicians, Diego del Gastor, who developed much of the group's repertoire. If you enjoy flamenco with its original raw, elemental power, the thunderous chords and keening vocals, then this electrifying debut will knock your socks off. Recommended!

Hit: 5 Stars
Son de la Frontera's debut CD is an exquisite blend of emotionally-charged, heart-stirring flamenco music, mostly drawn from Diego Del Gastor's rich legacy in Moron de la Frontera. Mixed in with the beautiful, stirring sounds of the Cuban tr?s played by Ra?l Rodr?guez; the haunting voice of Moises de Moron; and the comp?s of the rhythm section; their debut is an impressive work.
While others would rave on about "Como el agua entre las piedras" and the centerpiece "Cambian los tiempos", my favorite track on this CD is number three, "Buler?a del coraz?n". It is truly a beautiful track with so much potential. Ironically, it is one of their more original works. The chord progressions are beautifully crafted like an artisan building a Spanish guitar, carefully crafting the body and winding its strings. It is truly a song that enters the heart.
Other tracks include its resounding beginning, "Buler?a Negra del Gastor", the main homage piece to their master, Diego Del Gastor. Other tracks are equally phenomenal.
By the way, I saw Son de la Frontera two years ago playing at a concert at the Jackie Gleason Theater in Miami, before heading to Madrid, Spain with my school!

Free Music Review: Perfect blend
Hit: 5 Stars
Beautiful, hypnotic, Arabic-tinged Andalucian music. More naturally flowing than some of the new Hispano-Arab music. Relaxing but not new-agey or medieval.
