Art Rock Show – Malabriega- Frippada Andaluza (Week 25)

Malabriega is een Spaanse band afkomstig uit Sevilla, die zich onderscheidt door een unieke mix van rock, flamenco en progressieve invloeden. Ze combineren traditionele Andalusische klanken met moderne rockelementen, wat resulteert in een krachtige, emotionele en vaak poëtische muzikale stijl. De band is sterk geworteld in de muzikale tradities van Zuid-Spanje, maar durft te experimenteren met invloeden uit jazz, psychedelica en zelfs metal.

Guillermo van The Rocktologist: “Eight years after their debut album, Spanish band Malabriega has returned with a stunning release whose title ‘Frippada Andaluza’ suggests its connection to progressive rock or maybe a tribute to one of the genre’s icons. This band had already satisfied my senses when I was introduced to their music, due to their great blend of prog rock, flamenco and jazz, with an evident Spanish sound mainly due to the vocals, however, while writing this review I feel really excited with this album, which I’d rank as one of my top prog albums from this still young 2025 so far. (…)

This great album finishes with ‘Calamidad’ which might be the most Spanish song of all, first with the flamenco sound and then with the metal oriented one, without leaving aside that prog rock soul this band has. For the first time they bring spoken words which, of course, produce different textures and emotions. At minute three there is even a kind of spacey / atmospheric sound that takes us to a brief journey until it becomes heavier with the bass and drums. Yeah, I will name again the popular Porcupine Tree, because any fan who likes that project might feel enchanted by what Malabriega offers here, with their distinctive Spanish sound.”
