Renowned trumpeter Raynald Colom, along with his musicians Chiquelo and Rosario Guerrero “La Tremendita” among others, presents Evocation, his last work.
It’s all about impacting the flamenco’s world from a personal view, the view of Raynald Colom, to unearth all those music’s that made him evolve and become universal. To find those roots that link him to the Sefardite music, to that of Al-Andalus, to the north African, to the afrocuban, to jazz among others. A recollection, half way between the imagination and the memory.
