Catalog Number: YAI003 Color: Black Format: LP UPC: ESPERANTO The debut album "Tiempos de Vencer" by Spanish psych folk rock band Esperanto is out on YaiYai Records! "Tiempos De Vencer" presents a well-oiled band (members of Mohama Saz, Maika Makovski etc.) with a need to transmit a hopeful message with their grooves and arrangements from the East mixing with Chicago free jazz after visiting Berlin kraut rock through Canterbury. From the ashes of Melange rose Esperanto. In 2020, Melange ended their short but intense and successful career. The void that remained was filled by the creative process of three former members of the band; Dani Fernandez and the Ceballos brothers, Serio and Adrean. Esperanto emerged from stolen moments between Maika Makovski and Mohama Saz, the latter from which Javier Alonso was recruited. "Tiempos de Vencer, is an absolute must have and has arrived at the perfect moment. During these extraordinarily toxic times, the arrival of this record is a crucial injection of high caliber, unprecedented music. Music that transports you from Chicago Free-Jazz to Berlin's Kraut Rock stopping off in Canterbury along the way. Its essence is perceived in every beat, a feeling that comes from times past, from hard work, from the soul. These songs envelope and adorn you with eastern arrangements, they help you find victory, they propel you forward, and they are here to stay. Esperanto has just arrived but, did you not notice that it was already here? These musicians have joined together to create a record that embraces you with a compilation of songs that are more necessary than ever. Esperanto derives from long gone Spanish cult bands like; Melange, from Luger and from Novak, meanwhile shares its journey with Mohama Saz and many other musical projects. But this is it, this is ESPERANTO. Don't be late, keep the faith, there is hope!!" Miguel Portela "Sonosphere" Recorded, mixed and mastered by Carlos Diaz at Cortijo Santa Maria de la Vega (Granada) between December 2023 and April 2024.
