Son De La Frontera | nl

"The best new group I've heard this year, in any genre. They embrace the 'puro flamenco' tradition and succeed in making it new."
- Jackson Browne

Nominated for the 2008 BBC World Music Award as best group in Europe, Son de la Frontera is one of the hottest flamenco ensembles on today's international scene. Direct from Seville, Spain, it's flamenco puro for the 21st century: an innovative exploration of the cross-pollination of Iberian, North African and Gypsy traditions as well as New World influences from Latin American and the Caribbean. Lead dancer Pepe Torres is a polyrhythmic powerhouse whose superb footwork provides the band's main percussive support. .
