In the November ranking of the Transglobal World Music Chart, the album “La Noche” by the Spanish band Radio Tarifa scored the highest.
Radio Tarifa was born in Madrid from the meeting of three musicians: Faín Sánchez Dueñas (Valladolid), Vincent Molino (Montpellier), and Benjamín Escoriza (Granada). In keeping with Radio Tarifa’s usual tradition: ten traditional songs and four original songs. As usual, Faín handled the production and most of the musical arrangements. This time, in Benjamín Escoriza’s absence, nine singers participated in the recording. The influences are numerous: rock, flamenco, medieval polyphony, Castilian, Greek, Breton, Japanese, and other folklore.
