Barahúnda – Múdanse os ventos (self release, 2015)
Spanish act Barahúnda has taken 9 years to release a new album and the style has changed dramatically. Previous works featured a full ensemble and a wide range of influences within the context of Spanish folk music. Although Múdanse os ventos includes some guest musicians, it is essentially a songwriter album.
Múdanse os ventos features Helena de Alfonso on vocals and José Lara Gruñeiro on guitar. The arrangements are very basic. There’s barely any trace of roots music. Lyrics are in Galician and Spanish. It’s an intimate album focused on poetry rather than music.
