Lush, romantic, andalucian

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This fantastic album falls somewhere between the gypsy kings and paco de lucia, in terms of its authentic flamenco sound. It is passionate and moody and perfect for eating tapas and drinking a bit of vino tinto sangre de toro."

Take's Your Breath Away

"Full of passion and skill, Oripando lifts your spirits, has your toes tapping and makes your belly clinch. Oripando means "Kettle of Gold" which in the gypsy language caló translates to "The Sun". EA! are a group of nuevo flamenco 'academics' breathing new fire into Andalucian classics with an uncanny clarity and virtuosity, but at the same time reinventing the flamenco ecosystem with dramatic elements of jazz, world music and even rock styles. Oripando is possibly their finest work and a must-have in the collection of any latin music enthusiast."
