Albades is a stunning collaborative album by Jusep Maria Flores and Jusep Bahilo. The album features a beautiful combination of traditional Catalan folk music and contemporary jazz. The duo has done an excellent job of blending the two genres seamlessly, resulting in a unique and captivating sound.

The album opens with "Albada de l'home mort," a hauntingly beautiful track that sets the tone for the rest of the album.

The album features a mix of instrumental and vocal tracks, with both Flores and Bahilo showcasing their musical talents. The vocals on tracks such as "Cançó de bressol" and "La presó de Lleida" are particularly noteworthy, with Flores' voice conveying a range of emotions from sadness to joy.
