Músicas al sol: Guadalupe Plata. UK tour
2023 is the year of the return of Guadalupe Plata in a UK tour with their seventh studio album after 4 years.
Guadalupe Plata are from Úbeda in Jaén, Spain, and comprise of Pedro de Dios Barceló and Carlos Jimena. As with their previous works, this new album does not have a title, but it does overflow with good music. Carlos explains the process, “The record was recorded in two different locations with the same sound studio project, based on a 4-track Tascam 246 recorder with type II chrome cassettes, using 18 Tudor brand cassettes. All the recordings were made by the band in Úbeda, looking for new sounds with the freedom of having unlimited time to do it.” They call this process the Estudio Ataúd (Coffin Studio). The digitization, mixing and recording of the extra tracks was carried out in La Mina (Seville) in a joint production between Guadalupe Plata and Raúl Pérez where they finished adding both “dark saxes and 8-bit keyboards”.
