Malabriega biography
Malabriega is a band from Seville that mixes various styles such as rock, flamenco, jazz or progressive among others and that takes as a starting point the great Andalusian rock bands of yesteryear but goes much further in its journey.

In 2016 they released their first EP entitled La duda, composed of 4 songs that define the style of the band and which was very successful, allowing them to appear twice in the national magazine This Is Rock. The Italian magazine Prog Italia dedicated a space to them within the Spanish 'prog' groups to take into account and MariskalRock made a very favorable review of the album, also doing an interview with them. Finally, RTVE interviewed them for two of its channels: La 1 and Canal 24H.

In September 2017 they released their first LP entitled Fiebre, recorded and mixed by Jesús Chaves at Estudios Pelícano and Estudios Octopus. This LP is made up of 12 tracks (11 + 1 bonus track from their previous EP), where there is room for very modern sounds along with others that remind us of great bands. Listening to this album one finds the balance and fusion of the roots of flamenco with rock, prog and other genres in a unique way and with the strength and drive that characterizes them in their live performances. The release of this LP was followed with great interest by the press and radio, appearing in media such as Cadena Ser, El Diario de Andalucía, Viva Sevilla, Diario de Sevilla or El Correo TV.

Among others, they have played with Tabletom, Fausto Taranto, Randy López, Storm, Zaguán, El Tubo Elástico and Sweet Hole. Their songs are born from the fusion of knowledge and experiences of all their members, producing a magical union in which all styles converge towards something fresh and new but that sounds familiar.

While their eclectic synthesis of styles spans prog rock subgenres, the ethnic roots of Malabriega's music offer them a welcoming home in prog folk.

Review by JavierMiranda

5 stars "Frippada Andaluza" represents a giant step forward in Malabriega's career, following their 2017 debut, "Fiebre."

The classic influences of Andalusian rock (especially Triana) are maintained, but elements are incorporated that give the album great personality and variety. Tracks like "Tu Pelo" and "El Duelo" showcase the artist's approach to blending flamenco and rock in a more direct way, with beautiful, catchy melodies. The more progressive side of the album is magnificently represented in tracks like "La Levidad del Ser" (with an opening reminiscent of Triana's "Hijos del agobio") and "Reflejo vacío," with its 7-minute runtime, powerful guitars, and epic final crescendo.

I've left the eponymous track "Frippada Andaluza" for the end of this review, the band's magnum opus with post-rock influences, acoustic guitars (which may even recall '70s Genesis, but in the style of the Andalusian band), guitar delays, and exciting solos, moving through different atmospheres throughout its 10-minute runtime.

One of the year's great progressive albums, and one that will appeal to those who enjoy a personal and homogeneous blend of progressive rock, Andalusian music, and elements of post-rock with beautiful lyrics and melodies. Awesome Album.

Thanks to kenethlevine for the artist addition.
