Remixes by Sonikgroove, Professor Angel Dust & DJ Panko
World music with animal sounds and electronic beats. This is Delahuerta!
About Mirlo (Blackbird)
This song started with an electronic base, playing with a marimba that Xavi Turull gave me, and its evolution with the contributions of the musicians has been incredible… The first one was Zoltan Lantos, master of the violin and collaborator in Ojos de Brujo and Nadir. It has been a pleasure to have his beautiful melodies. Also, Antonio Restucci, one of the most important Chilean soloists in fusion music. He has contributed his Mandola in this theme with subtle delicacy. Also Mímis Nikolopoulos, guitarist, and composer with whom I have had the good fortune to collaborate on several projects. He is responsible for the brass along with Kostas Batzilas, bringing us a Balkan air from northern Greece, and the percussion of Cid Travaglia. Wellington Coelho and Morgan Stern, bringing the Brazilian groove with Gyan Singh, from New Delhi, a virtuoso percussionist of the tablas.
About DJ Panko
Paco Gabás, better known as DJ.Panko, has been a benchmark on the Barcelona scene since time immemorial. For more than ten years he has toured the world as DJ of the band Ojos de Brujo, winners of the Latin Grammy Awards in 2007 in the Best Flamenco Album category with their LP “Techarí”.
After the dissolution of the band in 2011, he formed groups such as Electrorumbaiao with Kumar Afrosideral, as well as dedicating himself to his sessions as a DJ and producing remixes for various artists.
His new project is Delahuerta, an audiovisual combo born from online sessions and jams with fellow musicians around the world during the quarantine restrictions of 2020. The result of these remote music production sessions is recorded on a forthcoming album of the same name.
The album will be released by Folcore Records later this year, after summer.
