 Los Gatos del Fornu Author: Los Gatos del Fornu
Los Gatos del Fornuīs first studio album featuring the bandīs characteristic
style, halfway between the purely traditional and modern folk. Produced by
Ígor Medio.
Long description: Discographic debut by the well known Asturian folk band Los Gatos del Fornu,
after years on Asturian stages delighting a numerous and loyal following of
enthusiasts with their characteristic folk style. The eleven tracks on the CD
show quite accurately why the Gatosī sound has led them to be considered one of
Asturies most successful live acts.
It has taken the band members -no less than nine- a while to make up their
minds on entering a recording studio, since the beginning of their musical
career when they started out as a traditional Asturian "bandina"
(typical small-village band with a strictly traditional repertoire and style).
The bandīs evolution over the last few years -very well received throughout
frequent performances- is now offered us in CD, titled eponymously "Los
gatos del fornu". The 11 songs on the CD uphold the tradition and the
essence of Asturian musical heritage although the bandīs own style and ideas
enrich the sound on several levels.
The album includes three vocal pieces, all three from the traditional song
repertoire, featuring the voices of Ana María Noriega and Rosa Ferreira
(who also play traditional Asturian square hand-drum) on "Brañas
dīAntanu", "Cantar de boda" and "Muñeires de la
miguela".
In all, a more than welcome contribution to the flourishing Asturian folk scene
and discography, and one aimed at all audiences and ages; a highly accomplished
effort which effectively and coherently reflects Los Gatos del Fornuīs musical
approach and the liveliness of their performances.
