Lorca is the title of the sixth album by songwriter Daniel del Valle & Co. and includes 14 songs in five languages and four dialects that tell of journeys through the Andes, of people, cities and streets, of migrations and Lake Garda.
The new album is not only a linguistic but also a musical adventure full of colorings from different cultures and styles. In the European collective's indie folk on Lorca, we find nuances of Argentine tango, Andalusian flamenco, Franco-Belgian chansons, Viennese waltzes mixed with reggae rhythms, Italian hip hop, and Austro-Bavarian singer-songwriter tradition.
The band worked for three years with a total of 20 musicians from all over Europe. Among them were an Icelandic singer, a flamenco gypsy from Jerez de la Frontera, and a rapper from Milan. The choice of languages and dialects reflects the roots and identities of each band member: In addition to Spanish, Italian, German, French, and English, Catalan, Bavarian, Venetian, and Andalusian also appear.
The album was mixed by Calexico engineer Craig Schumacher in Arizona and then mastered at the renowned JJ. Golden Studios in California.
