Welcome to Alcala Street

Greetings to all my friends and supporters of my music projects!

I would like to ask you to get involved with the launching of my new CD by being my cosponsor.

This campaign is aimed at obtaining the necessary funds for the publication and production of the album "Alcalá Street", which is already finished.

The album was recorded in Almería, in Granada at the School of Image and Sound “Curva Polar” and in New York at The Collective School of Music.

It is a project containing musical arrangements of popular Spanish songs on which I have been working over the years by redoing their musical reharmonizing.

The title "Alcalá Street" refers to a musical walk through an imaginary Alcalá Street where Spanish folk melodies combine with rhythms and harmonies of other latitudes, as well as different styles, sounds and rhythms of jazz, funk, latin and flamenco.

The songs selected for this project are:

• 1- Con el Vito va (El Vito-Popular)

• 2- Alhambra City (Granada - Agustín Lara, 1932)

• 3 - El Hombre del Sarawil (El Fallero - Maestro Serrano, 1929)

• 4 - Alcalá Street (Por la calle de Alcalá, Paso doble de los Nardos - Francisco

Alonso, 1931)

• 5 - Choco Frank (Paquito el chocolatero - Gustavo Pascual Falcó, 1937)

• 6 - Mi Tarara, sí (La Tarara-Popular)

• 7 - Bulerías de Aranjuez (Extracto del 2º Movimiento del Concierto de Aranjuez - Joaquin Rodrigo, 1939)

• 8 - Blues del emigrante (El Emigrante - Juanito Valderrama, 1949)

• 9 - Anonymous Waltz (Romance Anónimo Español, siglo XIX)

• 10 - Eviva Samba (Eviva España - Leo Caerts, 1972)

• 11 - Frente al Café La Palma (Suspiros de España - Antonio Alvarez Alonso, 1902)
