AULAGA FOLK
A Menos Cuarto
Armando ARD-123 (2010)
Nine-piece from west central Spain’s Estremadura play trad music of their
region, with full-blooded singing and a range of folk and folk-rocky backings.
Inflated to 3 discs – two of music and a DVD of concert and wandering-about
footage – this impresses less than the appealing try-anything adventurousness
and alegría of predecessor No Es Mala Leña.
