Description
Manuel Luna is an anthropologist and researcher as well as a musician and singer. In 1988 he recorded one of the most revolutionary folk albums made in Spain (LOS GALLOS DE LONDRES), which was a bit too ahead of its time for the domestic market but got a good reception outside of the country. Now, with a new band, Brena la Musica, Luna has revived his original idea with a combination of the same tunes plus new songs, all with enhanced arrangements, mixes and remastering. This innovative work is variously made up of drinking and ritual ronda songs, ballads, jotas pasiegas and a lo ligero dances, tunes with alternating major and minor modes, picayo tunes, rhumbas and pasodobles that relate in an intimate way with the different peculiarities of the Cantabrian mountain country.
