I mentioned a week or so ago that I fell in love with the world of Vicky Cristina Barcelona, Woody Allen's latest movie with a very sensual Spanish setting.
Well, now I just *can not get enough* of the movie soundtrack. It's an amazing collection of Spanish music, gypsy guitars and flamenco. It's almost all instrumental, other than the bouncy and addictive first track "Barcelona" by Giulia y Los Tellarini and a few choruses sung here or there on the flamenco songs. The album also features Juan Serrano, Paco de Lucia, Jean-Felix Lalanne and Muriel Anderson, Emilio de Benito, Biel Ballester Trio with Graci Pedro and Leo Hipaucha, The Stephanie Wrembel Trio, and Juan Quesada. Thank you, Woody, for introducing me to them all!
I don't know enough about Spanish music to articulate just what's so great about this album, other than the fact that whenever the album finishes I just press play all over again. I've been listening to it over and over, and it just takes me away -- it makes me smile on the Metro and dance in my seat while working the computer. And it's now a "gateway drug" as I've gone ahead and downloaded a full album by Giulia y Los Tellarini and added a Juan Serrano CD to my Amazon shopping cart.
Okay, gotta go, time to press play again.... I hope you'll check it out, too!
