ABDC - A Banda Das Crechas
$16.99
(cdRoots# boa-df047)
Andrew Cronshaw writes in fRoots: 'For decades A Casa das Crechas at Via Sacra 3 in Santiago de Compostela has been the best known session-bar in Galicia's folk music revival, the most likely place to run into and play with musicians from Spain's green north-west and sometimes from abroad. On May 31st 2009 a bunch of those who were around of its long-time and more occasional denizens, some widely-known, some not, gathered there to record the music they like and has united them over the years. Played and sung with a nice balance of democratic directedness of arrangement and non-studio informality and on a shifting cast of instruments including fiddle, gaita, flutes, sax, accordion, guitar, banjolin and the exuberant rattle-patter of pandeireta, the material is mostly Galician – xota, muiñeira, pasodoble, marcha procesional, rumba, and songs including a spirited Meu Cabaliño and the Cuban-emigration song Unha Noite Na Eira Do Trigo - but also includes tunes that have drifted in from the rest of the European folk revival, from Sweden, Ireland and the Balkans, learnt from the likes of Väsen, JPP and Andy Irvine, and been enwrapped in a Galician embrace.'

Barlovento - Sondeseu Orquestra Folk
$16.99
(cdRoots# boa-df044)
Andrew Cronshaw writes in fRoots: 'Big, strong traditional Galician tunes played and sung with fullblooded gusto by the Vigo folk orchestra, Galicia's first such ensemble, in mighty rich, tune-enhancing arrangements, mostly by ex-Milladoiro Rodrigo Romaní with a couple by Berrogüetto's Anxo Pintos, that really communicate the variety and alegría that makes this music so attractive and involving. One might think that with such a big band – from a count of the booklet photos five gaiteiros, thirteen pandeireteiras (female singer/tambourinists), seven fiddlers, seven harpists, seven hurdy-gurdyists, three flautists, four percussionists on pandeiros, pandeiretas, caixa and bombo, plus on one track guest vocalist Rosa Cedrón – things would get mushy and muddled, but they don't; it's beautifully put together, a jubilant, refreshing, singing, dancing, enlarged version of the thrill of a trio de gaitas or spirited bunch of pandeireteiras.'
