Thanks, Pagasarri, I will check out your recommendations, I know Onza from their first album (on Musea) but I can hardly remember their music, I will give them a second chance.

My DVD recommendations:

Triana-Se De Lugar (2-CD and 1 DVD featuring wonderful footage from their early period)

Medina Azahara-En Gira (live concert from 2000, mostly rock with progressive tendencies and some progrock compositions and great soli on keyboards and guitar)

Miguel Rios-Rock & Rios (live oncert: rock with some progressive tendencies and the great Thijs Van Leer on keyboards and flute)

I've found an interesting forum devoted to "Rock Andaluz, but it's in Spanish... (sorry)

 http://groups.msn.com/RockAndaluz

And there's a webpage from Brazil, where "Spanish prog" IS A SUB-GENRE OF PROG ROCK!!!
Click on Subgêneros sub-genres to take a look, it appears as "Progressivo Espanhol"

Muchas gracias Carakhallo, I am familiar to that site, I try to read it in order to improve my one-year-School-Spanish!

I have tried to click on 'progressivo espanhol' but I got no reaction, only the word 'members'.. ..

Is there any proghead who ownes Spanish progrock DVD's or knows a specialised label for Spanish progrock (I only know Pan Y Musica along Syn-Phonic and Musea that decent stocked) ?

I have the opinion that Spanish prog deserves way more an own category than my beloved Italian progrock scene because there is no other country where the blend of folk and progressive rock is so prolific and distinctive. I would suggest to name the new category for Spanish progrock the Prog Andalus  !

Thanks for your reactions, I think that Drew share his 'not knowing Spanish Prog' with many progheads on this site. Some even declared that only a few bands blended flamenco and progrock. These people should first investigate the Prog Andaluz and then give their opinion ..  .. I have created this thread in order to give attention to one of the most interesting and exciting progrock categories, I hope it will lead many progheads to a Prog Andaluz Heaven  !

it's definitley stimulating my interest, was highly impressed with Los Canarios anyway.  The information you've shared has piqued my further curiousity hahahah.   I've ordered 3 of the recommended albums and can't wait to hear them.

Hello Martinprog77.

I don't know the band Rata Blanca (can you tell something about it?) and Crusis was from Argentina while this topic is about Spanish prog.

Related to the argument about if Spanish prog should be a separated category, I think the issue is rather complex, as there isn't a unique spanish sound, but no less than three different scenes: one with elements of flamenco fussion (principally from Andalusia, although those influencies were depeloped in more places); the Basque prog-rock (strongly folky); and, finally, the another one made in Catalonia, where there was a prevalence of jazz/rock bands, as a folk component too (called rock laietano). I don't definitively see neither the homogeneity nor the number of bands enough to consider the Spanish prog rock as a separated scene, like the Italian one.

 

This is the best analysis I read so far about the 70's scene
let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword
