Once you got stranded on unexpected grounds, you might discover what life could look like from a different sight! This is what happened on our latest CD "Encallado" (stranded): Many different colors and moods in Latin are musicially described and may be discovered by the listener. Fourteen new treasures stranded on this CD: El Tambor - a musician who, despite all odds, happily lives his life! Quiero - about one who would give anything for his love, "... but ..." La Libertad - a Spanish pop song, which tells that it is never too late to follow your heart. The 2 Dancing Trees - an exciting, groovy instrumental piece in 5/8th. Knowing the Answer - an extravagant composition with a lot of depth. Calor - a fiery song, energetic and spicy, a summerhit! By the Way - a transparent, sunny song with a touch of Samba. Ciudad De Flores (Florstadt) - a floral flamenco piece in the style of the Guajira ... and six 'reinvented' coversongs came right along: Volare - originally and impulsively arranged with swing elements. Manhã De Carnaval - also known as 'Black Orpheus', as a flamenco piece in a new dress. Que Nadie Sepa Mi Sufrir - a classic traditionally interpreted. Gracias A La Vida - a rhythmic and powerful song about the wonders that life has to offer. El Rey Tiburón - about a shark who discovers love. A rock song of the group Maná. Spain - a timeless Latin standard with exciting improvisations and virtuoso jazz singing About DESAFINADO DESAFINADO plays songs about passion, love and life from Spain and South America. In predominantly acoustic arrangements and original compositions Desafinado unites the expressiveness of flamenco, the spontaneity of jazz and Spanish pop music to a new style. In addition to front woman Julia Hofmann with supporting and clear voice carried forward melodies, virtuoso improvisations of the two musicians Torsten Hofmann alias 'Costaro' (percussion / piano) and Claus Krogmann (flamenco/ electric guitar) always play an important role. Why "DESAFINADO"? Desafinado, which translates to "out of tune", allows many interpretations. Talking about music, perfect tuning is a utopia. Our system in use of twelve semitones is only possible because the intervals are slightly out of tune. This means that the whimsicality in our western music is the "normal" state, even if the Detuning is very small. Against this background, the word "Desafinado" gets a whole new meaning! ... Ultimately, for the three 'Latinos' Julia Hofmann, Torsten Hofmann and Claus Krogmann - these aspects considered, to them it means a search for common development in many ways.
