HEXACORDE & VANESA MUELA
Agarraos
Hexacorde HEXCD003 (2012)

Trad tunes from central Spain swung by Madrid sextet on concert flute, clarinet, soprano sax, dulzaina, cittern, guitar, bass, drums etc. As on their 2008 album joined on five tracks by singer Muela, but seem more intent on very planned but lumpy instrumental arrangements than giving her deserved space and accompanying her.
