"El Siempre Mar," an album that pays homage to the centuries-old cultural exchange between peninsular Spain and Latin America, delves into the world of flamenco 'roundtrip songs' known as "cantes de ida y vuelta." Pianist Emilio Solla and saxophonist/vocalist Antonio Lizana lead this exploration, drawing from their mutual love for the same musical forms. The album features a diverse and skilled rhythm section, including bassist Jorge Roeder and drummer/percussionist Ferenc Nemeth. Latin-GRAMMY® nominated vocalist Roxana Amed and a guest string quartet also contribute. The music blends improvisation, influences from both sides of the ocean, and a range of emotions, creating a unique and meaningful sonic journey. The album's title, "El Siempre Mar," encapsulates the connection between Solla's Argentina and Lizana's Spain, symbolizing unity across the vast Atlantic Ocean.
