    Valoración: VERY GOOD

Here comes a different album, published by Gaztelupeko Hotsak which in recent times bets for recording Basque artists rooted in the musical tradition of the area This time they present us Family Folks, a group which perform a new actual and vibrant folk, with a good number of Celtic influences, although they do not forget to add some delicious and colorful touches of rock and roll and even country music All the songs that have been included in the album have the taste and flavor of the sea, as well as the atmosphere of those taverns where old fishermen met to sing and drink at the end of a hard working day The album gathers sixteen well developed original songs, displayed with a warm love and commitment by solvent and passionate folk musicians such as Bosco Hill on vocals, guitar, banjo, violin and mandolin, Rubén Xuarez on vocals, guitars, five-string banjo and mandolin, Jorge Lorre on bass and vocals, Rufus El Guarro on drums, percussion and vocals, Xabier Vieitez on piano and keyboards and Oscar Liboreiro on electric guitar, arrangements and production This is a recording that probably has nothing to do with the blues, but should call listeners attention for its overflowing warmth, emotional feeling and beauty, besides suggesting fantastic seascapes
