I completely agree on the review I read in deflamenco.com which, together with a recommandation from a good friend was the reason why I bought this record. The review is so well formulated that I will refer some of it:
" El Pele has three very distinct characteristics which set him apart from all other cantaores: 1) he has a very unique voice, something like a fingerprint, which is highly recognizable; 2) he is capable of reaching notes well higher ... ...of melody, which he uses to broaden the possibilities within traditional flamenco."
This is a great recording with great artist! If you like flamenco and you like both technic and tempo, accompanied by great emotion, this must be a true hit. Buy it before it is to late. It is very hard to get hold of. ...

Advantages: Top quality Russian folk music Disadvantages: Lyrics will be hard for non Russian speakers to understand
...quite psychedelic. This album - Voice Letter is their only to date and was released in September 2007. This is an excellent band that are not particularly known in Russia nor even Germany outside of certain circles but are superb musicians none the less and have created an album full of gentle timeless tracks.
