Spain

Spain is an American alternative rock band founded in Los Angeles in 1993 by singersongwriter and bassist Josh Haden, son of jazz bassist Charlie Haden. Known for their melancholic, atmospheric sound and deeply introspective lyrics, Spain blends elements of jazz, blues, and indie rock to create a signature style often associated with the slowcore movement of the 1990s. Spain’s debut album, The Blue Moods of Spain, released in 1995, became a defining work of the slowcore genre. The album featured the hauntingly beautiful song “Spiritual”, which was covered by artists such as Johnny Cash and Pat Metheny & Charlie Haden

Federico García Lorca

Born: June 5, 1898

Federico García Lorca was one of Spain’s most celebrated poets and playwrights, renowned for works that combine lyrical beauty, emotional intensity, and a deep connection to Andalusian culture. His best-known plays include Blood Wedding, Yerma, and The House of Bernarda Alba, while Gypsy Ballads remains among his most acclaimed poetry collections. His writing explored love, desire, repression, freedom, and the enduring power of music and tradition.

Lorca’s artistic world extended beyond Spain. During his 1929–1930 stay in New York City, he encountered a vibrant, modern metropolis that profoundly influenced his poetry, particularly Poet in New York. His fascination with music, especially the passionate rhythms and expressive power of flamenco, offers a compelling connection to jazz and the blues. All three traditions give voice to longing, struggle, joy, and sorrow, blending structure with improvisation and technical mastery with raw emotion.

The Sant Andreu Jazz Band is a Barcelona-based orchestra founded in 2006, made up of young musicians between the ages of 6 and 21. Every year, two or three members leave and new ones join.

The organization was founded and is led by Joan Chamorro. We are a non-profit project where the members of the youth orchestra pay nothing for rehearsals, individual lessons, or the albums we record. We receive no official funding and are able to do what we do thanks to concerts and support from individuals who love our project.
