Synopsis

Album Description

Ida y Vuelta, literally round trip, narrowly defined, is a term used by flamencos to describe those musical forms that have "returned" to Spain from the Caribbean and Latin America. The guajira is an example of "ida y vuelta" that began in Cuba with harmonies brought by the Spanish and returned to Spain to be transformed into the flamenco from which features a 12 count rhythm and alternate harmonic changes. In a broader sense, "ida y vuelta" is about our own personal journeys, both literal and spiritual. The music on this CD occurred because of exploration and a fascination with other cultures.

CD Reviews

A musical journey

Davíd | Dekalb, Il United States | 03/19/2003

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I found this CD to be exceedingly infectious. Some songs are just blazing with energy, while others are more tranquil. The musical performances are simply wonderful. Being a guitarist, I found much to my liking. Carlo really displays his abilities by playing Flamenco-esque material and classical guitar music. The singers in this group are also quite astounding. As for the rest of the musicians, they add nice colors to the already rich sound. I would recommend this CD to anyone who loves Flamenco, Nuevo Flamenco, and latin music."

What Makes a Great C.D.:

"Technical prowess, excellent source material, chemistry beween musicians and something that gets better with every listen. Ida y Vuelta would be a "desert Island" c.d. You will not get tired of it. There are elements of world music that you can easily track the musical odyssey of this group. As great as the c.d. is; you must see them live! Their energy, prowess and passion is infectious! I would highly recommend this to anyone having an interest in flamenco and world music. This is definitely one for any world music fan's collection."
