FLOR DE LOTO ~ MADRE TIERRA MYLODON 050 (Barcode: 3426300047045) ~ PERU ~ Progressive Rock Recorded: 2007Released: 2007 2nd album by excellent Peruvian Prog band Flor De LotoFind albums by this artist, led by flautist Johnny PérezFind albums by this artist and guitarist Alonso HerreraFind albums by this artist, both of whom also write all the music. The quartet also includes bassist Alejandro JarrinFind albums by this artist and drummer Jorge PucciniFind albums by this artist. Following the footsteps set by their stunning eponymous debut album, the band delivers again a set of beautiful melodic tunes, kept in the tradition of the 1970s Prog and naturally bringing warm memories of bands like Jethro TullFind albums by this artist and FocusFind albums by this artist. Is spite of the past influences, the band is completely original and up to date, combining the Prog tendencies with their native Andean music in a most sophisticated fashion. Only three of the ten tunes include vocals with the band concentrating on their splendid instrumental work. Listening to this album is a truly uplifting experience, with immediate craving for their next release. Of course the fact that they come from Peru only adds to the impression that the most interesting Prog in the 21st Century seems to be happening in South America. Most warmly recommended!
