'El sonido bastardo', the first album by the enigmatic collective Danzon El Gato, establishes a fascinating dialogue between jazz, funk and roots music. Formed in the underground hotbed of Madrid's experimental scene, it's members have decided, this time, to start from the groove in order to explore tradition.Recorded in Madrid, 'El sonido bastardo' is a kaleidoscope of rhythms and landscapes: echoes of North Africa, the tropics and Latin America intertwine with a rocky rhythm section, inspired equally by 1970s library music and golden era hip hop. Each track is a sonic journey loaded with influences that sometimes dissolve, leaving the listener in a borderline and polychromatic terrain, a reflection of Madrid itself, a huge city born from the confluence of cultures in which mixture is palpable at every corner.The creative core of Danzon El Gato is formed by Javier Adan and Santiago Rapallo, two craftsmen of sound, far from the spotlight but always at the forefront. They met at the beginning of this century in Zure Gura, an experimental jazz band that fused Basque tradition with contemporary sounds. Since then, they have shared a journey in projects such as Dead Capo or UMD (Unidad Minima de Destruccion), as well as having composed experimental pieces for cinema and even the Prado Museum.Unexpectedly, shortly after the recording was finished, the studio in the Suanzes neighborhood where the album was conceived was dismantled. The space in which the studio was located, which for years was an epicenter of sound experimentation, gave way to the relentless advance of the real estate market.'El sonido bastardo' captures the essence of a city in constant transformation, where music comes and goes, anchored in tradition but with a cosmopolitan and exuberant look.Tracklisting:A1.
