EL NAÁN 
Codigo De Barros 
ARC EUCD 256 (2015)

Central Spanish band touches all Iberian bases: Castilian trad, folk-rock, South American, jazz-rock. Probably stirring live, where one can see the varied instrumentation, but here, with the thinly strident male lead vocal, tenor sax, busy thuddy drumkit and bass guitar dominating, it projects ambition rather than appeal.
