We continue to find suitable dates to bring back some podcasts that didn't migrate from the old website to this new one, which you're enjoying with a free subscription. It's been the 50th anniversary of the album 'Nuevo día' (Movieplay) by the duo Lole Montoya and Manuel Molina. In this episode, which we originally created to celebrate Lole receiving the Medal of Fine Arts, we revisited some recordings from their early LPs, which offered a glimpse into our art.
Program synopsis:
Heavily influenced by various musical movements in Andalusia during the mid-to-late 70s, Lole and Manuel opened a window of freshness and lyricism that remains undiminished so many years later. Alongside them appear names such as that of the poet Juan Manuel Floresespecially, or Pedro Rivera and producers like Ricardo Pachon o Gonzalo García – Pelayo.
I begin the space with a fragrant bulería entitled Mint leaves (from the LP) New Day(Movieplay 1975), which sums up those early ones well. sounds of the duo. But, as I like to propose cuts that are somewhat different from the usual ones, I pause to consider the tangos Alquivira with oriental resonances and which belongs to the LP Water Passages (CBS, 1976). From the same album appears a groundbreaking Taranto of the manwith arrangements typical of Andalusian rock from that era. Finally, from the album Lole and Manuel (CBS, 1977) a very personal soleá, which Lole's timbre molds to unexplored aesthetic horizons, and the soundscape Land that sings of the disc At dawn with joy (CBS, 1980).
