about

Here is the first single for 2022! Upbeat high adrenaline skirt-swirling solo flamenco guitar. This Rumba was recorded in a single take on a beautiful Ignacio Rozas flamenco guitar, hand-built in Madrid.

In its purest form flamenco combines elements of song, dance, percussion & guitar playing. As early as the 4th century B.C, Roman chroniclers praised the dancers of Andalucia. From then on the history of the region saw a succession of invasions & immigrations by Romans, Jews, Vandals, Celts, Arabs, Berbers & Gypsies.

During Islamic rule (711) the exiled Gypsies created a unique music which retained strong Eastern & Moorish characteristics. The guitar put in a relatively late appearance in this musical epic. Its most direct ancestor arrived on the scene in the 17th century in the Christian courts of Spain, before it spread to folk music to such an extent that it has become a national symbol of Spain.

The ‘Rumba’ is now one of the most popular styles in the flamenco genre.

Finally had a chance to sit with this whole album, and wow, congrats to Steve and Frank for delivering such an impressive and glorious work! Great Kilbey poetry throughout, as usual, and some classic dream pop guitar sounds. But this isn't a retro project. The vibe is 110% NOW. I'm in love with "Words are Wasted," but you can't skip to it. You got to earn it through the journey. I'm going to be processing this one for a good long while; in the meantime, hope you'll do another! Trace Reddell
