Ida y Vuelta is the eagerly awaited debut from Esperanto. Literally ‘there and back again’, Ida y Vuelta is the phrase the Andalucians use to describe the flamenco styles that bear the hallmark of Latin American influences – a synthesis of Spanish and Hispanic rhythm and harmony. A fitting title then, to reflect the duo’s brand of guitar music which blends South American and flamenco styles, as well as betraying Mark and Jon’s early rock influences.| In an attempt to capture the energy of their live performances, Esperanto present a showcase of traditional melodies whilst putting their own unique stamp on mainstream music made famous by household names such as the Eagles and Madonna. Infectious rhythms interlaced with sparkling harmonies and dazzling fretwork, Ida y Vuelta takes us on a journey; to the sun kissed beaches of southern Spain , to the Americas … and back again. |
