ABOUT THIS ITEM

Musica Sol Y Mar bring us their first release showcasing some of the most beautiful music played on the island of Ibiza from the last 30 years - no, not no-brain nonsense for gurning pissed-up numpties; Balearica! Musica Sol Y Mar is the brainchild of two DJs originally from the Spanish mainland but now settled in Ibiza. They are deeply influenced by the music played by the likes of Café Del Mar legend, Jose Padilla as well as Phil Mison and Jon Sa Trinxa. This compilation provides a beautiful snapshot that will take anyone who has been to Ibiza back to those long chilled days and nights on the White Isle. For anyone who has not yet made it to the Balearic paradise of Ibiza, the music here will provide a tantalizing glimpse into the spiritual vibe to be found on the island. From the cool Danish pop of Laid Back, through neo-flamenco courtesy of Ottmar Liebert to the ultra-chilled reggae grooves of Gregory Isaacs, "Balearic Sound Volumen Uno" is a broad church of musical styles. Jean-Luc Ponty's rare version of Mory Kante's "Ye Ke Ye Ke" is worth a special mention as it is now getting plays again from San Antonio to the Big Apple. All tracks featured here are either long deleted on vinyl or are seeing a vinyl release for the first time. All tracks have been re-mastered for maximum quality.
