In the summer of 2006, two young guitarists (Álvaro Leal and Francisco Javier Gonzalo) are known with the intention of satisfying their desire to play Blues. Do not take long to rolling to three types most (Héctor Martínez harmonic, Chema Contreras bass and Carlos Sánchez battery) and in a short time are giving way to an exciting project: get out a band of Blues in the suburbs of the industrial belt of Madrid. Two years non-stop from rolling all over Spain, with the participation in festivals such as Hondarribia Blues Festival, Festival de Blues de Puerto Lumbreras or Contrablues Festival , and performances in television (Visual 777) lead in the publication of his first self-released album in 2008 Keep Foolin' Around . Over the next two years, and with a stable line-up which includes Sergio Valdehíta keys and Pablo Ruíz on drums, they exceed the hundred of concerts and embody this work on another album, recorded in February 2010 (First Aid Blues) and presented with a series of ...

If you don't know the Blues, there's no point in even picking up a guitar. And guitarist Larry Smith comes with a warning: Watch out!!! He plays Blues/Rock that bites back! .. Raw Power Blues!! The crowd was blown away!! – Bardies Blues Festival (Larry Smith) The Maestro of the Blues – Agusti Mas (renouned blues guitarist), Barcelona Larry's playing is like a force of nature!! Truly music that bites back. – Radio Macedonia If you miss Larry Smith, you will miss one of the great blues players. – Hi Voltage Magazine, France.. Half British and half American, Larry came of age in the 60's, when Rock propelled music and popular culture into a consciousness that continues to be a major influence two generations later. Chuck Berry famously said, "It used to be called Boogie-Woogie, it used to be called Blues, used to be called Rhythm and Blues…It's called Rock now." Living in London in 1967, he heard Jimmy Hendrix on pirate radio and was inspired to learn guit...

I have a new release, Big Bang , from Diez Tragos . This is definitely not blues but a really smokin' release. It has mixes of many styles of music which makers it difficult to describe. It opens with Dueno de mis suenos which is a very cool complex rhythmatic track with atmospheric guitar and vocals over a strong driven beat. If you know Mars Volta (or King Crimson for the earlier generation )this would be the closest comparison that I could make. I like both bands so this is a really good start. Soy Inmortal is up next with a solid single direction but still complex musical pattern. This isn't Lady Gaga! This is serious stuff. It draws comparison to some metal due to some of the vocals and over driven guitars but again to me it's about the musicality and this is really cool. No soy un angel , a much quieter track overall uses the dynamic range to create sonic impact. This track again has tastes of metal but all of the complexity of an orchestra and actually some of t...

This quartet from Asturias (Spain) called Blues & Decker offers not very orthodox blues, sophisticated moments and wacky explosions of energy in their debut album. 'Stealin' the blues' is an excellent presentation letter of a band that has a long way to go but can be proud of the current accomplishments. Blues & Decker is not the typical blues band that tries to remain faithful to a classic or traditional sound, nor just cover old and well known songs of the genre in their own way. The spirit that guides the members of the band involves taking the blues away to mix it with many styles, and that's why they decided to name their first work 'Stealin' the blues', title that wants to underline their outsider role inside the genre. Gustavo Perez (lead vocals and rhythmic guitar), Ludwig Molina (drums), Kike Cuetos (bass) and Guzman Lanza (lead guitar and vocals) got together in 2009, and after a few rehearsals they found a lot of common ground in the c...

Mississippi Martínez. Bluesman nacido en Barcelona el 13/12/1980. Ya desde los 5 años vivía en Granada, ciudad a la que pertenece su sangre y donde sigue residiendo a día de hoy. Jamás tuvo ninguna inquietud musical hasta los 18 años, momento en el que cayó una guitarra en sus manos como regalo de cumpleaños. Ese hecho y algunas canciones dirigen su vida. Como artista su música esta directamente influenciada por el Blues del Delta, el Country y el Folk Americano en general, aunque en sus actuaciones siempre hay espacio para revisar el rock and roll desde el punto de vista de sus manos, su guitarra y su voz. Llega a vivir las raíces del modo más natural, empezando por la música rock y escarbando hasta el origen... Referencias. Muddy Waters, Leadbelly, Robert Johnson, Eric Clapton, Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, B.B. King….

It's a train loaded with waste, the product of lost lives, that runs rampant on the rails of the Blues without fear of derailment. Trio that bet on the more austere, stark and virulent side of Rhythm & Blues, leaving apart flourishes and musical fanfare to focus on the interior of this style. With references like Jerry McCain, Kid Thomas or McKenzie George Lightfoot, The Junk Express collects basic, so often discarded items, which make up this musical tradition and carries them on a train with its own name. Raw sound and an energetic attitude… Blues in its essence.

La semilla del proyecto Cottonfield se planta entre 2010-2011 con Manolo Galindo y Francisco Toro.

“Lamentations are common anywhere in the world and establish solid relationships among unknown cultures”, said an African poet, father of the theory of blackness. In this way, the blues sung in Galician makes all the sense in the world. And it seems to mean much more when transmitted through the voice and guitar of Víctor Aneiros. Born in Ferrol, A Coruña in 1960, he's a self-taught and irreverent musician, considered one of the pioneers of blues-rock in Galician. After playing in various local bands in the 80s and 90s, he began his solo career in 1999, forming Victor Aneiros & Blue Notes and releasing “Que el blues te acompañe” (May the blues be with you). He performed at various festivals like Antequera Blues Festival (2000), Rhythm and Blues in Aragón (2001), Cerdanyola Blues Festival (2001), Reus Blues Festival (2002) and Montreux Jazz Festival (2002). He played on the same bill as Big Bill Morganfield, Coco Montoya, Raimundo Amador, BB King... In 2003, he formed Victor Ane...

From rumba rock to heavy boogaloo,from a stoned ranchera to an anxious ska piece, this couple of songwriters/producers from Barcelona (Spain) shows a complex view of the rock syntaxis in spanish language. They PREDICADOR RAMÍREZ & MANOLO D'MADRE, have a long career playing in well-know spanish bands of the 60's, 70's survivors like LOS SIREX, LOS MUSTANG, LOS DIABLOS and many more artists of diferent sing. AMOR DE MADRE was a common tattoo between the people in the jails. Maybe this image leads the listener to a desperado way of sense, a taste with ironically words around the triviality of live, out of political corrections. Here it can finds, the two first works of them.Latin rythms, ballads, country, bossa-nova flavour, or even funkuy-rock panflets, with no other goal than creare small celebrations of misunderstanding.

Ramblin' Matt is Mateo Garcia-Martin, originally from Spain now living in London. Since I can remember I have been fascinated by the blues in all its forms but to me there is nothing like the raw sound of the Country Blues from the pre-war years. In between the decade of 1920 and the beginning of the Second World War and thanks to the field recordings of Alan Lomax and others we have a legacy of many of the artists of the Mississippi Delta region. Names like Robert Johnson, Son House, Johnny Shines, the early Muddy Waters, Charly Patton and many others were the pioneers who helped to establish the roots of the blues and by extension rockan and roll and soul. After the first wave of recordings of the 1920's and 30's some of the artists dies, others gave up music to earn a life as waiters, truck drivers and builders until the publication of a single album helped to expose the genre to a legion of US and British musicians such as Mike Bloomfield, Alexis Korner, John Mayall and...

The son of a local traditional musician, Spanish contemporary flamenco guitarist Raimundo Amador started playing live in Sevilla's streets under the name of Sargento Platillo at the age of 13. Soon, he began participating in a project called Los Gitanillos, forming Veneno in 1977, who recorded a self-titled album that was released by CBS. After teaming up with his brother, Rafael Amador, a new flamenco band called Pata Negra was born, issuing four albums. When Raimundo Amador decided to start a solo career, he sent a demo to B.B. King, who invited him to New York. The two were playing songs together such as "Bolleré" and "Ay Morena" soon after. In 1995, the talented guitarist formed Gerundina, recording En la Esquina de Las Vegas in 1997 and Noches de Flamenco in 1998. Two years later, Universal released Un Okupa En Tu Corazón.
