About

Son de la Frontera (Sound of the Frontier) refers to Flamenco's historic collision of North African and Roma (Gypsy) traditions, plus Spanish-and-African derived Latin sounds imported from the Americas and Caribbean. The group was founded by Raúl Rodríguez, who was deeply inspired by the legacy of Diego Amaya Flores del Gastor (1908-1973.) He began visiting the Maestro's hometown of Morón de la Frontera in 1995 and soon found himself jamming with two of Diego's descendants, Paco de Amparo (flamenco guitar) and Pepe Torres (baile & compás/ dance & rhythm) both of whom later joined Son de la Frontera, along with Moi de Morón (cante & compás/vocals & rhythm) and Manuel Flores (compás/rhythm.) Raúl discovered the dulcet tones of the tres Cubana after his mother, the renowned singer Martirio, accepted an invitation to perform in Havana with Buena Vista's Compay Segundo and brought one home with her. Raúl eventually realized that flamenco falsetas (scales and arpeggios roughly analogous to jazz riffs) could be freely adapted to the instrument's three sets of double strings. Thus, the final frontier was breached and Son de la Frontera achieved its musical destiny.
