Celebrating the 30th anniversary of Enlace Funk magazine, we present the world's first Flamenco-Jazz compilation, featuring tracks from 1978-2025 released on vinyl for the first time.
A journey through some of the most important artists of this style, starting with the seminal work of the group Dolores in 1978, and continuing to examples of the current sound of this exciting fusion.
Includes tracks never before released on vinyl by artists such as Jorge Pardo, Chano Dominguez, Pedro Ojesto, and Marc Miralta.
A musical dialogue between Flamenco and Jazz, unique in the world.
Limited Edition.
The first volume of Flamenco-Jazz aims to showcase this unique style that has proven to be a bridge of communication and dialogue between flamenco and jazz musicians, creating an inimitable sound that is constantly evolving and transcending barriers. This style had already found some points of convergence in the seminal works of Ramón Montoya, Lionel Hampton, and Pedro Iturralde many years before their definitive convergence.
We take as our starting point a 1978 recording by Dolores, featuring Paco de Lucía, which later led to the formation of her legendary sextet with musicians who had participated in this recording. The beginning of a musical encounter and a new language that began to develop and materialize, as if it were a round trip, saw many of these musicians reunite to celebrate the music of Paco de Lucía on another seminal album, "10 de Paco." From this album, we've selected a track by two pioneers of the genre, Chano Domínguez and Jorge Pardo, without whose presence on the vinyl this collection would have been meaningless, and who appear twice.
Of course, this first volume wouldn't be complete without masters like Josemi Carmona, Pedro Ojesto, and Marc Miralta. We also invite you to read the song credits to see the musicians who participated, including names like Carles Benavent, Javier Colina, Tino Di Geraldo, Perico Sambeat, Guillermo McGill, and Jerry González, from whom we've recovered one of his earliest recordings with flamenco artists, his collaboration with Diego Amador. As well as incredible flamenco singers of the caliber of Conchi Heredia, La Tremendita, Israel Fernández, El Mati, David Carpio, and Rafael Vargas “El Chino.” And of course, a new generation of names that have elevated the genre to its current status, such as flautists Trinidad Jiménez and Sergio De Lope, Juanfe Pérez and Juan Pérez Rodríguez from Huelva, Pablo Martín Caminero from Vitoria, and Miquel Álvarez from Valencia. Not forgetting innovators like Antonio Lizana and Enriquito, who are crossing borders and sharing their unique style.
Many of these musicians have participated in the festival that gives this album its name, and others will surely join us to share their music and their inimitable artistry. We have Flamenco-Jazz for a long time to come.
