I had never imagined what would a blend of flamenco and electronic chillout music sound like. Chambao is the answer. I just picked up their "Endorfina's en la Mente" album during a recent trip to Spain. In it, they've managed to combine the two genres in a completely natural way that they first explored a couple of years before, in their contribution to the compilation "Flamenco Chill".
The entire album is packed with song after song of catchy tunes that balance the handclapping, guitars and chorus singing typical from flamenco, with background electronic keyboards that provide a lounge-like atmosphere. The singer reminds a lot of the vocalist from the US band Si Se and the whole production is bound to transport you to Spanish lands by the Mediterranean Sea... with tapas and nice wine.
