Thanks my friend.Smile

Did you ever think the magic Iceberg could come from the nasty musical lands of Spain??In the 70s that was possible. Yes we can.


The Death-Iceberg.

Medina Azahara are heavy rock, influenced by Triana, just no more. Gualberto is more folk, not prog, just jammy sometimes...in my humble opinion from Spain.

Out from Andalucia and Seville:
Magic prog folk from the fairy green lands of the Basque Country. Cool atmospheres.
HAIZEA-ARGIZAGI EDERRA sung in my languaje, the most ancient in the whole Europe.Smile



Another female and knowed over this thread were ITZIAR. Excellent.


There are many more interesting things, as SAKRE. They are basques from South France zone. But I can´t find examples.

Bye.

If you're into flamenco rock, apart from some already mentioned here (Triana, Azahar, Granada, Cai, Mezquita, Guadalquivir, Iceberg, Imán Califato Independiente, Vega) i would add the first albums by Medina Azahara, Alameda and Gualberto.

From the non andalusian regions of Spain i strongly recommend you "Si todo hiciera Crack" by Crack and the first album of Eduardo Bort and also some mentioned above (Atila, Los Canarios and Gotic).

Hi guys, if anbody wants, I could teach several and importants bands from Spain in the 70s. The level is very good in some cases. 

Remember I have opened a thread to talk about this but I can´t find...Confused

2 examples. The first one is SMASH, with an amazing mixture of hard prog with flamenco. Incredible song.
The other are STORM. The best for me. 

Bye and enjoy:Smile

The only Spanish Prog band I know is Triana, and I totally loved their first 2 albums. 5 star albums both of them.

some incredible jazz-rock :

Borne - 'exprime la naranja'
Vega - 'jara'

There is also this band crossing the folk-prog of Jethro Tull with the hard-rock of Deep Purple :

Ñu - 'a golpe de latigo'

There's a band called Kathaarsys who I believe is from Spain.  They play a pretty good Opeth-inspired extreme metal/acoustic folk mix.

Hi,
 
Not Spanish, but on my CD player I accidentally came across Riuichi Sakamoto ... and you want to get Neo-Geo, Heartbeat and Beauty ...
 
Spanish ...
 
I am partial to a band called "Carmen" that was actually from Los Angeles, but had the best mix of rock music and spanish music you ever heard and they guy could translate his spanish chops to an electric guitar so easily that it was scary ... and far out! Out of this band came a bass player that ended up being with Jethro Tull for years until he passed away.
 
Some that I remember that might be worth a check or two, but I do not know them intimately but they had some nice stuff, albeit many of us might say ... too much Yes in this part, and then too much spanish guitar in this part and then too much Genesis in this part ... IF we do not know how to listen to music with discipline and accept that people can also be influenced by Beethoven and still play an electric guitar and tell him to roll over! ... a rather important concept in my head ... because otherwise one ends up saying ... sounds like ... and your appreciation goes right out the door!
 
Granada, Azahar and Triana right off the bat. But I have to tell you I did not get into many of them. But there is some serious musicianship in many of these albums! And sometimes a lot more dedicated to the music than some of the very inspirators of the actual style!

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

Atila and Triana aren't bad.

Sur tant de mers, tant de planchers,
Un marin mort,
Il dormira

Teah, there are several bands from Spain that I am sure you could enjoy, my suggestions now in my mind are: Iceberg, Gotic, Cai, Mezquita, Los Canarios and Amarok, among others.
