In 1992 Rumba Argelina was released. The album, produced by indie label M4sica Sin Fin, is regarded as a masterpiece of Spanish world music. Other recordings followed, Temporal, Cruzando el Rio and Fiebre, recorded live in Toronto (Canada). Along with his work for Radio Tarifa, Benjam5n Escoriza worked on a solo album. He enlisted Jaime Muela, Vicente Molino, Fernando Mej5as and the producer of Rumba Argelina, Juan Alberto Arteche. Together they created Alevanta!. The album is a powerful mix of Arabic music, Flamenco, Arab Andalusian and Sephardic influences, Andalusian folk, Medieval music and rock. On Alevanta!, Benjam5n Escoriza shifts from being a contributor to writer of all the material. In this flamenco-focused record Benjam?n leaves his Granada roots exposed. The songwriting process took place in stages. After writing the lyrics, Benjam?n tried them out over his own guitar or small electric keyboard, searching for melodies and chords and jotting them down on a 4- track recorder. He then worked on the roughs with his various musical collaborators, chiefly Vincent Molino, but also Jaime Muela, Fernando Mej5as and producer Juan Alberto Arteche. In fact, much of the record was put together in these guys’ homes. By working through the ideas and arrangements, the songs gradually took shape and the choice of instruments was selected to reflect the mood and meaning of each. |
