RECUERDOS DE MI TIERRA

Spanish Progressive Rock in the most delicious way you could possibly imagine. MEZQUITA blend complex structures with cascading symphonia, juxtaposed with Spanish acoustic guitar accents and delicate melodies. I think I do owe a very big thanks to my Turkish friend Tugyan who without a shred of hesitation insistently recommended this album. Vocals are shared from within the group and are well suited to this music with excellent harmonies and larynx contrasts throughout. Standout for me has to be MEZQUITA's awesome and highly sophisticated guitar player (Jose Rafa) who seems to move eloquently from acoustic to electric throughout. This album carries a wonderful Spanish influence (cha-cha's and all!) throughout and is actually a wild mix of traditional, eastern and progressive musical elements. The music on "Recuerdos de mi Tierra" is ever flowing and moves with great energy and complexity. This album is really a prog lovers delight and I too would pass along the warm endorsements on this album as a real winner.
