The album Jotas by Lorenzo Navascues and Rondalla Breton is a beautiful and authentic representation of traditional Spanish music. The jotas, a type of folk song and dance from the region of Aragon, are brought to life with the vibrant and energetic performances of the musicians.
Navascues' skillful accordion playing is the backbone of the album, while the Rondalla Breton provides a rich and textured accompaniment with their guitars, mandolins, and bass. The vocal performances are equally impressive, with Navascues and his fellow singers delivering the lyrics with passion and emotion.
The album's highlight is undoubtedly the title track, "Jotas de Aragon," a lively and infectious tune that showcases the musicians' talents and captures the spirit of the jota perfectly. Other standout tracks include "La Dolores," a hauntingly beautiful ballad, and "El Baile de San Juan," a joyous celebration of the summer solstice.
