El Diablo Cojuelo
$17.99

A classic in the Spanish new-folk universe, this is one of the bands that first brought the music to the world, and in my personal opinion, this is still their best recording.

Press info:
The well known band from the area of Madrid playing unheard tunes and some instruments quite uncommon in Castillian folk groups: gaita de fole (bellows pipe), bagpipe from the Sierra de Madrid, dulcimer, hurdy-gurdy, lute, fiddle, etc. This first album includes traditional tunes from Madrid, Castille and Leon along with their own compositions. In their search for new roads within traditional aesthetics, they create pieces which are harmonized and developed in such a way that they can even be attractive to a non-specialized public, althought retaining the spirit and forms of the original melodies. * Booklet contains texts and lyrics in Spanish and English.

Please note!
Most CDs have been imported from Europe or Asia. They are not all shrink-wrapped, and I am not going to con you by wrapping them here just to make you think they have been sterilized in America. We guarantee that the CDs and the contents are all brand new and in perfect condition. Whenever I can, I use recycled shipping materials. They may not look as pretty on the outside, but they save money and keep the trash dumps a little bit emptier.
