Pagasarri, your English is better than my Spanish  ..

Yesterday I went progrock shopping in Amsterdam, I have bought a wonderful box set entitled Los Jonenes Flamencos, including 7 CD's featuring Pata Negra, Ketama, Tomatito, Carles Benavent, Jorge Pardo, Paco De Lucia, Diego and Armando Amador, excellent blues, rock and even progressive music!! You can also buy these 7 CD's separate.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

prog rock shophing!!!  In spain that's impossible There are only 2 specializes shops in spain, discos melocoton (very good one, but a bit expensive) and Pan Y Musica in Bacerlona (very good too). And that's all folks!, no more. Well, in madrid there is another shop called Diskpol that have prog music among many other styles, but they have a very little prog selection, although what they have it's quite good and with good prices (the genesis box set "Archive - Volume 1: 1967-1975" cost only 17.95 €, i think that's a very good price man!) here i bought bijou for 6 €, yesssss it's cheaper if you by it via internet in their offical site, but...


Talking about the box set you have bought, i don't like flamenco, only the flamneco orientated prog.
And that's the first time i've heard of that boxs set, hehehe. Los jonenes Flamencos.... no idea, really

Which are the prog groups that appear in tha box??

Pata Negra and Ketama blended flamenco, rock and blues in a progressive way but not in the traditional way of the Seventies progrock, hardly any keyboards.

When I stayed a long weekend in Barcelona (in order to see Barcelona, 1-0 against Real Madrid, goal by Nadalin the final 15 minutes, 100.000 fans went wild!) I visited a large record store in the Paseo De Gracia street, do you know that store, was it Pan Y Musica? I bought threre Canarios and Bloque.

Today I have added Zaguan to this and written a review, I am curious to your and everybody's opinion, let me know!

So you are interested in spanish football league, quite strange from a belgian

I suppose it is pan y musica, i've never been in barcelona, but before i die i must go to pan y musica jajaja

I listen to zaguan this afternoon and i like them although i don't love 'em. I get impressed with the vocals, it's a replic of Jesus de la Rosa!! and with some furious guitar play, really impressive.

More used of keys and more complex and symphonic songs would make that great, but nowadays i just a good band, at least for me erik! i know you love flameco prog ejje

I don't know if people will think if they are prog or not, but I think they have art-rock tendencies

I'm talking about "Heroes del Silencio". It is a quite known band who started in the late 80s and dissapeared in the late 90s. Their leader, Enrique Bunbury is still active and he recently said he was going to work into progressive stuff.

DallasBryan, early Neuronium is great, wonderful synthesizer musis blended with fiery guitar soli from Santi Pico

Pagasarri, thanks for the words about Zaguan, I hope they will get more attention.

Shyman, thanks for your reaction, I hope more progheads will follow you, the Spanish Prog! thread is going very well, thanks!

I think it's time for me to start listening to some Spanish prog again. I am very curious about Zaguan, since everybody say they sound like Triana, is it true? I will also try to get Máquina and Goma.

Antbody here knows Nuberu? They were a folk-prog band from my region, Asturias, in the north of Spain. They were more folk (celtic) than prog but they say their second and third album were quite proggy (although sometimes they used drum programming...). I have only listened to some tunes, but they are quite good. As many other bands from Asturias, they played the asturian bagpipe in many songs, I love that sound!!

I know them, but never listen to them. mmmm I love bagpipe too and celtic music, so it's very probable that i like them.

Not much information here, only a short"Jazz rock, folclore asturiano. Todo junto."

Carakhallo, I just included Zaguan to this site and I have also written a review about their CD Testigo Del Tiempo, the vocals sound incredible similar to Jesus De La Rosa.

Pagasarri, Granada has some fine bagpipe on their albums.

mezquita's release is just awesome.  I love the crickets that start off the album and sneak back in every so often.  These guys play their stones off.  Ecspecially the guitar and bass players.  I just recently am emmersing myself in the Spanish prog scene after buying well over a hundred, make that more like 200 Italian releases.  I don't have many of the releases mentioned, but will be getting them.  Hopefully some of them will be re-released, like the Crack album.  I've been trying to find this release for a long time.  I see Granada wasn't mentioned.  I feel they should be, though I don't feel they are the best.  Another good one  is "Gualberto's" "Vericuetos."  Some awesome playing in league with Mezquita on this release.  So far nothing beats Mezquita though. 

                              SPANISH PROG!!

Paulieg, I think you should get maaaany Spanish prog CDs, you won't regreat it! And you will find many albums more interesting than the one from Mezquita. After listening to Triana, Cai, Canarios, etc, I personally don't understand why many people likes Mezquita so much. They say the guitar players are very good, but I (as a guitar player) do not agree with them... Anyway, I will listen to the record again (I haven't done it for a few years) and tell you all about my feelings nowadays.

And about Crack's CD, it has been recently re-released, I think it was a Japanese label, but I am not sure... And the thing is the people from the band was not aware of that!! So you better get it before they decide do something about it...

Ah, here it is, I found it. Take a look at this list from Si-Wan Records releases, here you can find Crack among many other prog CDs:
