Disco Rumba & Flamenco Boogie (Various Artists)

Disco music, Philadelphia sound, and Salsoul fever were also present in the rumba-pop and flamenco-funk scene of Spain in the late '70s/early '80s. Producers, sound engineers, and studio musicians collaborated closely with flamenco/rumba singers and bands. Among others, Pharaway Sounds offer a compilation highlighting the production/studio work that genius Josep Llobell did for the Belter label in Barcelona. 12 disco-rumba-flamenco-boogie bombs, a time machine to the Spanish boîtes and discotheques of the late '70s and the perfect soundtrack to an imaginary "Kinki" cinema soundtrack. Features Sangre Gitana, Rumba Tres, Los Gachós, Tobago, La Marelu, Barracuda, Juan Bautista, Las Deblas, El Turronero, and Sangre Gitana. Includes insert with liner notes by Txarly Brown (Achilifunk) and photos.
