Has anybody recommendations from Spanish prog with flamenco



Wonderful news! with that new arragments the album must be ESSENTIAL


prog with flamenco, well, the first album by alameda is just outstandingm, really good and beautiful prog with flamenco in the vein of Triana, but with lots of piano and keyboards.

another very good band is "la banda del lago" and their 1992 album "cuestion de tiempo". The only problem with this band is that it is hard to find them, but man they are wonderful:

Happy to see this thread is still open!!

Let me say that next CD from Senogul won't be just a re-arrangement of "Tránsitos". There will be some more new tracks, more that 1 hour of music altogether.

I still don't know Goma and Máquina and I think I should get their records soon...

Goma has a second Cd called "goma 2" from 1979


It is a blend of folk and rock, but very simple IMO. The only prog song is the 8th which lengh is 9:28.

The vocals are in Gallego, a language from the region of galicia in the NW of spain

I wonder how many progheads on this site know the 2-CD Duende Electrico featuring bands like Goma, Triana, Cai, Medina Azahara, etc. it's a perfect introduction to the Spanish Prog!, adios!!

I don't.... but I do now hahah. Thanks!  I guess a good question would be... how different (if at all) is Spanish prog from the Italiian stuff.  Not of course that all the Italian stuff is the same.....  Any particular regional/stylistic differences?

Micky, I would not say that all the Italian stuff is the same... Have you listened to bands like Area or Arti & Mestieri? Hummm... curious... I can't remember any other band with a different style...  Well, maybe you're right, they all have a similar sound, BUT I LOVE IT !!

Spanish prog is more diverse, of course, although there are not as many prog bands as in Italy. The prog from the north of Spain is more folk oriented, Andalusian (flamenco-prog) is typical from the south and in Cataluña (northeast) there were some prog fusion bands.

I love italian prog rock too!, specially the more symphonic orientated (Darwin!, il tempo de la gioia, per un amico, randone).

Talking about spanish prog, i like the most the prog form the north of spain: crack, ibio, bloque, abando, itoiz, itziar, harnakis, etc. But i also love the flamenco orientated prog, it's wondeful.

What i don't like very much, but still like, is the jazzy prog from catolonian bands, i mean, what i love form spanish prog is its sensitive like in the italian stuff. Examples of that are crack and ibio.

Hello Micky.

If I compare Italian to Spanish prog I would say about Italian that on one hand the bands are more obvious influenced by ELP, Genesis and VDGG but on the other hand the bands often sound very adventurous, more complex and very alternating, sometimes less accessible.

The Spanish prog often contain folky elements from the several regions (as Carakhallo mentiones) including the different languages like Catalonian (Dr. No) and Basque (Itoiz). Especially the integration of the exciting flamenco is wonderful (Triana, Cai, Azahar). In my opinion the Spanish prog sound very original, often it's hard to find obvious influences (most of the time King Crimson and Camel).

If you visit the spanish prog rock site , they say it is a different group!! And Dag Erik Asbjornsen says he is not sure it is the same group!

Which to trust, then?

Goma's 20 Abril album is sung in Spanish , not in Gallego!

mmmm, interesting hahahaha

Well, perhaps they converted to galiacians, who knows?

Reading the review of "14 de abril" it's possible that goma and goma 2 were different bands, because in 14 de abril has KC and VDGG according to the review, while the other Goma it's very simple folk and rock.

So, probably you're right.

Today I have added another promising band to this site: after Bijou and Senogul I present Zaguan to you, a band with obvious echoes from Triana featuring lots of exciting flamenco guitar but also fine organ and electric guitar soli. Check them out!

I hope many progheads will follow your explorations Micky!
