Carmen - Dancing On a Cold Wind, 1975
Carmen is an unfairly forgotten band. Formed in Los Angeles in 1970, they were, since the very begining, under the influence of the west coast psych movement and andalusian flamenco.
In an attempt to expand their audience, Carmen members moved to London in 1973, where they underwent the process of transformation that would lead many bands like Procol Harum (another heavy influence on them) or Moody Blues into the early shape of what we call now Progressive Rock.
But Carmen was a bt different and they were metamorphosed into prog and sometghing else. Something with the flavor of a good spanish wine.
Line up:
Roberto Amaral & Angela Allen: singers, footworking, spanish percussion and dancing.
David Allen: Guitar (both acoustic and electric),
John Glascock: bass and Paul Fenton, Drums and percussion.
PS. I Included some rare video footage of Carmen at David Bowie's TV show 1974. This was not included in the CD reissue.
