Juan Shaman-Solos y Azules-2010

About Juan Shamán's New "Solos y Azules..." -- " (We're) Alone and Blue..."--

Apparently picking up where his debut CD left, Juan Shaman explores deeper tonalities of rhythm and melody, mixing classic, latin, electronic, and rock colours in unpredictable ways. "Solos y azules..." ("We're Alone and Blue...") is heavily based on French Symbolism and on Modernismo's lyrical elements (Ruben Dario's "Azul...", 1888) with romantic overtones: the (im)possibility of love, existential questions, sensual mosaics. This is a taste of contemporary latin rock that is moving from rock towards dark Latin and electronica in a constant search for new expression and originality.
