Pitingo - Soulería 2008 - (Nueva Edición) - [Flamenco, Latin Soul] - 320Kbps # DrBn

Two years after the release of his full-length solo album debut, Pitingo con Habichuelas (2006), flamenco fusion vocalist Pitingo became a Spanish sensation with the release of his second album, Soulería.

A collaboration with acclaimed flamenco guitarist Juan Carmona (of the group Ketama) and the London Community Gospel Choir, Soulería is a unique album on which Pitingo fuses flamenco with soul music motifs, dramatically reinterpreting a number of well-worn standards in the process.

The cover songs include "Killing Me Softly" (originally released by Roberta Flack in 1973 and revived by the Fugees in 1996), "Gwendolyne" (Julio Iglesias, 1970), "Ayer" (i.e., "Yesterday"; the Beatles, 1965), and "Me Rindo Ante Ti" (i.e., "On Bended Knee"; Boyz II Men, 1994). Beginning with "Killing Me Softly," which is sequenced second, these covers are spread across the album, interspersed by more traditional flamenco material, and they bring an occasional dash of familiarity to the album. The performance of "Killing Me Softly" is especially familiar -- perhaps too much so, especially with its English-language chorus -- but it helped make Soulería a crossover success in Spain, where over the course of three months the album rose, rather miraculously for a flamenco release, to the Top Five of the album charts.



Soulería is one of the more impressive - and certainly one of the most accessible - flamenco albums in years and is deserving of its popularity.

Pitingo y el guitarrista Juan Carmona (fundador del grupo Ketama) como estrellas principales proponen una insólita fusión entre pop, flamenco, soul y góspel.



Reedición del disco de Pitingo 'Souleria' con exitosas adaptaciones como la de 'I Will Survive', 'Every Breath Yo Take' y 'Cuéntame' o un homenaje a Los Chichos con la canción 'Ella se vendrá detrás de mi'. Además incluye una versión del villancico 'Noche de paz' a toque de soulería.



Soulería supone una atrevida mezcla de temas tradicionales flamencos (trilla, granaína y fandango) y éxitos de música pop, rock y soul, con la participación de The London Comunita Gospel Choir, que dan el resultado de fusión de gusto exquisito.
