1991 album by the Catalan folk ensemble Coanegra was left on the label Blau, run by Joan Bibiloni, a Balearic icon from Mallorca. It contains total 9 phantasmagoric tracks that are full of the atmosphere of the Mediterranean Sea, a place that has swallowed up a variety of different cultures. Includes the Mediterranean fusion of “Galeig” seems to float on the dazzling surface of the sea, “Mar De Moros” is a gypsy-like ensemble that seems to run across the continent, and percussion-led "So De Pastera” with a dry string sound and flute that invites exuberance. A great piece of progressive folk music unique to Spain.

マジョルカ島が生んだ稀代の音楽家Joan Bibiloni主催レーベルBlauに残されたカタルーニャ発のフォークアンサンブルグループCoanegraによる91年作。多様な異文化を呑み込む地中海の空気をたっぷり詰め込んだ変幻自在の9曲を収録。眩しい海面が浮かび上がるような地中海性フュージョン”Galeig”、大陸を駆け巡るようなジプシー感覚のアンサンブル”Mar De Moros”、パーカッションがリードしながら乾いた弦楽サウンドとフルートが高揚を誘う”So De Pastera”。スペインならではのプログレッシブ・フォーク佳作。
