Ventana Abierta by Grafenauer Flamenco Project

The Grafenauer flamenco project brings together top Slovenian and Spanish musicians who invite listeners to enter the world of flamenco mixed with jazz, world and classical music.

In addition to Grafenauer, Ana Mezgec, Bernardo Brizani, Jošt Lampret and Spanish artists Jose Manuel Ruiz Motos "Bandolero" and Enrique Rodriguez "Enriquito" participated in the recording, as well as producer Paco Ortega and sound engineer Pablo Martinez. As vocal guests it also features Noemi Humanes Garcia and Imer Traja Brizani.

Recorded at the Musigrama studio in Madrid, one of the leading studios in Spain, the title of the recording is Ventana Abierta (Open Window) and indicates the freshness of the author's creative work.

The compositions with Spanish titles are a tribute to the infinite Spanish culture, in which an art developed over the centuries, which today continues to be developed and ennobled by many other influences and cultures. Thus, for example, In the composition Olas Turquesas (Turquoise Waves) the enchanted undulation of waves and peace on summer days on a lonely island, in the composition Todos los dias (Every Day) you can hear the motifs of the well-known melody of Fumić's Nocturne, a composition for classical guitar, for which there is an interesting anecdote from the life of the authors parents. Rio pintado is a tribute to the river of seven names, in the center of Ljubljana called the Ljubljanica, which in addition to green (usual) and unattractive brown (after the rains) can also be rainbow colors at the right angle and a bit of imagination, while Anillo Gitano (Roma Ring) is a tribute to an irreplaceable influence Romani culture on the development of flamenco.
