LA MUSGAÑA
Las Seis Tentaciones
Xenophile XENO 4030 (1995)
US release for latest album by ever-touring band, the only such specialising in
the music of central Spain. In its current four-piece line-up (here with guest
trikitilaria Kepa Junkera) various flutes play the leading top-line role, with a
range of European and Arabic traditional instruments and bass guitar.
Well-researched, well-played, but rather neat and studio-ish.
