El Sonido Bastardo

“El sonido bastardo”, the first album by the collective Danzón El Gato, establishes a fascinating dialogue between jazz, funk and roots music. Formed in the underground hotbed of Madrid’s experimental scene, its members have decided, this time, to start from the groove in order to explore tradition.

Recorded in Madrid, “El sonido Bastardo” is a kaleidoscope of rhythms and landscapes: echoes of North Africa, the tropics and Latin America intertwine with a rocky rhythm section, inspired equally by 1970s library music and golden era hip hop. Each track is a sonic journey loaded with influences that sometimes dissolve, leaving the listener in a borderline and polychromatic terrain, a reflection of Madrid itself, a huge city born from the confluence of cultures in which mixture is palpable at every corner.

The creative core of Danzón El Gato is formed by Javier Adán and Santiago Rapallo, two craftsmen of sound, far from the spotlight but always at the forefront. They met at the beginning of this century in Zure Gura, an experimental jazz band that fused Basque tradition with contemporary sounds. Since then, they have shared a journey in projects such as Dead Capo or UMD (Unidad Mínima de Destrucción), as well as having composed experimental pieces for cinema and even the Prado Museum.
