Son De La Frontera make their US West Coast debut this spring, playing shows in Los Angeles, Carmel and San Francisco, as well as in New York at NYU’s Skirball Center. The group’s Los Angeles show at the Echoplex (2/28) is presented by KPFK and there will be an introduction by Jackson Browne and Raul and Ulises of Ozomatli. Click here for the show dates and info.
Son De La Frontera was nominated for “Best Flamenco Group” in the 2007 Latin Grammy Awards, and are current nominees for “Best European Group” in the 2008 BBC Music Awards (winners are announced in April). Congratulations! Their latest release Cal was also included in PopMatters’ Top Ten World Music Albums of 2007:
“The guitars are vivid and precise…Every pause seems filled with thought and weight. Everything is accentuated by the recording’s spare acoustics. Cal is an antidote to auditory overload, an album that puts up one commanding hand and says, simply, ‘Listen.’ ” -Popmatters, Deanne Sole, Best of 2007
