Review:
|
In an interview on the Internet the guitarplayer Juan
Carlos talks about Jaen Kief (from Colombia!) their music
and he notices that the music press has difficulties to
classify their very varied and experimental progrock sound,
he says “it is rock and something more”. We could enjoy
this on their debut album Las Hadas No Vuelan Mas (from
2003) and I finished my review with the sentences “This
makes listening to Jaen Kief to a pleasant musical journey”
and “Do they still exist?”. -
Well, in 2006 this new album was released and in 2008
the French progrock label Musea has distributed it worldwide.
To me it sounds more mature and elaborate than their previous
effort and I am delighted about the typical Latin-American
touch: that melodic and pleasant blend of several styles,
presented by very good musicians. The climates range from
dreamy to up-tempo rock, from classically inspired to folky
and 24-carat symphonic rock and the instrumentation is very
lush: plesant and often warm Spanish duo-vocals (male/female),
swinging acoustic rhythm guitar, powerful saxophone, cheerful
flute-traverse, tender Grand piano, fiery and moving electric
guitar solos, an adventurous rhythm-section, Spanish guitar
and wonderful classical keyboard orchestrations. -
I repeat my words that Jaen Kief their music is a pleasant
musical journey, on this album even more exciting and varied,
the 10 beautiful compositions deliver lots of variety, emotion
and excellent skills on a wide range of instruments (especially
the long track Tus Suenos De Tul is top notch progrock from
Latin-America), a sound to discover!
