Vigüela plays music from El Carpio del Tajo (Toledo) with en emphasis on the vocal traditions. On their third release, they put together a variety of traditional songs, songs from Castilla la Mancha and Extremadura. On one side they present original themes, but they also show a special interest in work songs thet were used in the fields, all played with great rhythmic variety. They carry the richness of the local melismatic singing, accompained in a light instrumental arrangement, but with fine technical skill and rich arrangements. Some songs will be familiar, like the ubiquitous "Malagueña" but even the familiar tunes will offer revelations as to the original meaning of the songs. Great voices are presented a capella or accompanied by traditional percussion, handclaps, guitar, small percussion and bandurria.

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.
