Alevanta! is the debut solo album of Granada-born vocalist and lyricist Benjamín Escoriza whose raw and distinctive voice led the ground breaking Spanish band Radio Tarifa to worldwide acclaim. Known for his blend of traditional North African music with flamenco, Latin rhythms and a pop sensibility, on this release Escoriza develops this powerful Latin-Arabian sound, exploring more acoustic and flamenco directions while continuing to delve into Spain's Moorish roots.
‘in-your-face intensity… [a] stew of medieval, Moorish and flamenco influences’ (4****stars) The Independent On Sunday ‘a familiar sound, but with a rawer, more rootsy feel… the overall acoustic, flamenco feel of the album gives it a personal stamp you just never get with bands.’ (4****stars) HMV Choice
