Medina Azahara

Spanish group Medina Azahara was shaped in 1979 by singer Manuel Martinez, guitarist Miguel Galan, drummer José Antonio Molina, bassist Manuel Molina, and keyboardist Pablo Rabadan. That same season, the band agreed upon with CBS, issuing a self-titled record made by Gonzalo Garcia Pelayo that highlighted their first strike, a song known as “Paseando por la Mezquita.” That record was accompanied by 1980’s La Esquina del Viento and 1982’s Andalucia. Around that point, the band began being mentioned among the major elements of a local motion known as Rock and roll Andaluz. Before issuing 1995’s Caravana Espanola, Pablo Rabadan still left the act, changed by keyboardist Antonio Fernandez. Once the group shifted from CBS-Sony Information Limited by the indie Avispa S.L., En Al-Hakim was produced. A 1990 live show was documented and released as En Directo. The 1992 studio room follow-up Sin Tiempo became the band’s breakthrough, yielding two strike singles, as well as the band continued release a a slew of effective records through the entire next 2 decades. Two of the very most interesting had been 1998’s Tanger, which noticed them collaborating with North African music artists, and 2003’s Aixa, which highlighted the Córdoba Symphony Orchestra and earned them two honours — for greatest album and greatest song — on the seventh annual Premios de la Música Aragonesa honours. Medina Azahara underwent significant lineup changes over time, but Manuel Martinez continuing to entrance the music group, which celebrated its 30th wedding anniversary in ’09 2009 and released its 17th studio room record, La Memoria Perdida, in 2012.
