Cobla La Principal De La Bisbal - Sardanas Música Folklorica De Cataluña 8

Review by Matthew Merrick

Cobla La Principal De La Bisbal's album Sardanas Música Folklorica De Cataluña 8 is a delightful collection of traditional Catalan music. The album features the cobla, a traditional Catalan ensemble that includes brass, woodwinds, and percussion instruments. The music is upbeat and lively, with intricate melodies and rhythms that will have you tapping your toes and swaying along.

The album includes a mix of well-known sardanas, as well as some lesser-known pieces. The musicians of Cobla La Principal De La Bisbal demonstrate their skill and precision throughout the album, with each instrument contributing to the overall sound. The brass section, in particular, is impressive, with bright, clear tones that add a festive feel to the music.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "El Ball De La Civada," which features a beautiful melody played on the flabiol (a type of flute), accompanied by the rest of the cobla. The song builds to a lively crescendo, with the percussion and brass driving the rhythm forward.

Summary by Matthew Merrick
