One of the most innovative and interesting Blues projects currently on the peninsula, do not miss it. ======= “Barcelona, Madrid and Sevilla hold hands in a fruitful musical association of three great Spanish bluesmen like Lluís Coloma piano, Francisco Simon guitar and Mingo Balaguer harmonica and vocals. This is a really interesting, instructive, enjoyable and musically impressive album. The trio sounds teamed, strong and totally appetizing, because the communication among the three musicians is thrilling and exciting. The three performers have a wide experience and a huge musical knowledge of the instrument they mastery play. Francisco Simon is considered one of the most outstanding blues guitar players within Madrid area, Mingo Balaguer is an harmonica living legend all over Spain since the time he was member of The Caledonia Blues Band many years ago and, finally, Lluís Coloma is our most internationally well known blues and boogie-woogie piano player. Traditional classic blues, played on a cool restrained way, where the three fellows give free rein to their imagination, creating a delightful atmosphere with the most delicious, bright and festive climax you can imagine. So, their unbeatable knowledge makes them become one of the best blues trios of the actual Spanish scene. VERY GOOD..” Vicente Zúmel. Radio Pica “La Hora del Blues”. June 2015 |
