 Topic: Andalusian and Latin Rock favourite albums?Posted: February 20 2025 at 09:17 |

Disregarding how much these two genres have in common, they seem at least both not to be very popular internationally, albeit one of the artists certainly is. Therefore, I've been thinking that it's best to make one thread for both of them, and my favourite albums are (in chronological order):
Andalusian Rock Carmen (UK/USA) - Fandangos in Space (1973) Triana (ESP) - Triana (El Patio) (1975) Iman, Califato Independiente (ESP) - s/t (1978) Cai (ESP) - Mas Alla De Nuestras Mentes Diminutas (1979) Latin Rock Santana (USA) - Abraxas (1970) Santana - Santana (III) (1971) Malo (USA) - s/t (1972) (not on PA) It could also be interesting to look at what else they have in common. |

Triana might be my fave of all, their first album. And one would think that the Gipsy Kings' first couple of albums owe a lot to Triana. I have not explored Triana's later albums.
The one hit by Malo is wonderful Other favorites include (artist-album), many of whom are not specifically Andalusian Medina Azahara - en el Hakim Asturcon - Asturcon (celtic inspired) Celtas Cortos - a bit of celtic, a bit of ska, a lot of wonderful Harnakis - more like Yes than andalusian Mago de Oz - folk metal! Sangre de Muerdago - beautiful neo folk Snowdonia - mellow Malabriega - currently being evaluated for prog folk and definitely VERY Triana influenced With many of the classic Andalusian groups, I like songs here or there but I wouldn't say I'm a fan - Cai, Crack, Granada, and then some other non Adalusian groups that are in that category for me - Amarok, Ibio, Gotic I am not including any of the Basque bands as that is really quite a different beast |

Andalusian Rock emerged in early 1970s, but didn't really evolved into a genre until the mid-'70s, and pioneered not least by Triana. Basically, it's a fusion of Progressive Rock and Flamenco music, so it can be roughly understood as Flamenco Prog. However, it doesn't look to me like all the albums of the genre can be considered as Prog. Edited by David_D - February 21 2025 at 08:49 |

The defining aspect of Latin Rock, as I see it, is fusion with elements of traditional Latin American music and especially Afro-Latin genres. The term emerged after release of Santana's debut album, and Santana is definitely also the internationally most well-known artist of the genre. However, there's been some significant Latin Rock bands more or less all over Latin America, while the term itself has been used rather differently over the years.

I was much in doubt, but I reckon now that it was best to start this thread in General Music Discussions.

I never heard of Malo. There was another one called Chango. I don't think they are on P.A. either though.
