"Contradanza has created Andalusian folk music of the greatest caliber"
A. Romero/ World Music Central

While I trip over my musical knowledge of folkloric Spain, I'll tell you to check out Contradanza especially if you enjoy hearty acoustic music performed for sophisticated audiences. I have a soft spot for Spanish traditional music and jazz so my hope is that I’ll turn you onto this music. Certainly I find it relaxing, while still stimulating the brain with complex rhythms, diverse timbre, and musical textures. Beautiful melodies sweep you off your feet which is fine if you're not critiquing the recording. I wish I knew more about this group because I'm falling in love with these songs.
