Alfonso Santisteban - Spanish Moog

Review by Michael S Sterns

Alfonso Santisteban's album Spanish Moog is a stunning tribute to the fusion of traditional Spanish music with the innovative sounds of the Moog synthesizer. The album features 10 tracks that showcase Santisteban's mastery of both the Moog and the Spanish guitar, as well as his keen ear for melody and rhythm.

From the opening track "Aires de Alhambra" to the closing "El Vito," Spanish Moog takes the listener on a journey through the rich musical heritage of Spain, blending traditional flamenco rhythms with the futuristic sounds of the Moog. Santisteban's playing is both virtuosic and emotive, and he is backed by a talented group of musicians who bring depth and texture to the arrangements.

One standout track is "Zorongo," which features a driving beat and a haunting melody that builds to a frenzied climax. The Moog takes center stage in "Albaicin," creating a dreamy, otherworldly atmosphere that perfectly captures the spirit of the album.

Summary by Michael S Sterns

Spanish Moog is a must-listen for fans of Spanish music, electronic music, and anyone who appreciates innovative, boundary-pushing music. Santisteban's skillful blending of old and new, tradition and innovation, results in a truly unique and captivating listening experience.
