Details:
Tres Compadres is a modern flamenco ensemble that explores the boundaries of flamenco and fusion while embracing the elements of tradition that make this genre of music such an incredible art form. Inspired by such notable artists as Paco de Lucia, Gerardo Nunez, Tomatito, and Vicente Amigo, Tres Compadres continues the legacy of seeking new ways of applying musical growth to an old tradition.

The concept behind the songs recorded on Que Pasa was to reflect the ensemble as a unit. This is not your typical âmusicians back up guitaristâ flamenco cd. Fast paced unison lines, thoughtful melodies, and complex rhythms interjected with virtuoso solos are featured throughout by all members of the ensemble. The band tackles such flamenco song forms (palos) as buleria, rumba, solea por buleria, tangos, tarantas, and solea. Tres Compadres shows itsâ jazzy side on Fandangos, does a Latin inspired version of Chick Coreaâs Armandos Rumba, and puts a world music edge to the Cat Stevenâs classic Longer Boats.
