Please note!
Most of our 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. I 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.
Thanks- Cliff, cdRoots

Músicas Populares de la Guerra Civil - Brigada Bravo and Díaz
$17.99
(cdRoots# gal-nube1009)
Antonio Bravo (guitars and live looping) and Germán Díaz (zanfona, caja de música): Music, like all art, is not a question of numbers or tools, but of talent. If one is a virtuoso of the instrument - and Bravo & Diaz certainly are, it is a great start, but only a start. More than virtuosity is the capacity to transmit emotion, to evoke feelings with notes. To use as traditional melodies to elaborate sophisticated variations perceives pathway between the cult and the popular that, since the Renaissance, musicians have sought out. Bravo and Diaz have chosen from a popular Song Book of the Spanish Civil War and use it as ae departure point to a more modern work. In jazz, that "classical" music of XX Century, they have recreated the melodic schemes of a once mythical time to make sound them unexpected and new.
