about

In his fourteenth release, the artist from the Valencian region combines traditional music from the Spanish Levant (Valencia and Alicante mainly) with musical influences from Europe, Asia and Africa, where he has resided as ‘Musician / Ethnomusicology Lecturer’ during the last twenty years.

In this trilogy album, Luis Giménez Amorós (former Mariem Hassan’s guitarist, among many collaborations) performs with other Valencian multi-instrumentalists known in the world music circuit (such as Diego López from L’Ham de Foc) and jazz artists coming from the local music of ‘Moros y Cristianos’ (like Javier Geras, Fran Ramos and Paco Soler).

This trilogy album has been released between 2021-2022 and aims to evoke how the music from the Spanish Levant remains unique and part of a broader cultural circulation within and beyond the Iberian Peninsula.
