**************

Apparently taking up where his debut CD left, Juan Shaman explores deeper tonalities of rhythm and melody, mixing classic, latin, electronic, and rock colours in unpredictable ways. "Solos y azules..." ("Alone and Blue...") is heavily based on French Symbolism and Modernismo (Ruben Dario's "Azul...", 1888) lyric elements with romantic overtones: the impossibility of love, existential questions, sensual mosaics. This is a taste of contemporary latin rock that is moving from rock towards dark Latin and electronic in a constant search for new expression and originality.

Note: Due to Jamendo's restrictions to 12 songs per album, the CD was divided into two (originally released in one-CD format)
