Mezquita - Califas Del Rock (1981)


The second album from this Spanish band.

The band was a quartet with a lineup of bass, saxophone, guitars, keyboards, drums and Spanish vocals.

Their 1979 debut album Recuerdos De Mi Tierras was a great album somewhere between Spanish fusion and symphonic prog. You can read my review of this album here.

Looking at the cover art-work more than give me a hint that we are not in for the same on this album. Minimalism is the word here.

And so is the music too.

Take Spanish hard rock in the vein of Medina Azahara at their most uninteresting and you get this album.

There is a lot of Spanish folk rock influences on this half an hour long album. The vocals is really good too.

The music is a bit cheap and minimalistic rock. Mostly hard rock.

The quality is decent enough. But I am not really impressed by this album.

A decent rating would suffice...
