This is just a quick news update to tell you that A Contracorriente has suddenly reappeared in the UK iTunes Music Store, though as a “partial album”.
This was the band’s second release – it’s a really nice piece of work and, as well as the brilliant bouncy title song, also contains excellent tracks like Son Sueños.
The track that’s missing here is Puede Ser (featuring Amaia Montero). I suppose my best guess would have to be that the album’s removal had something to do with excluding this track (which was part of the album on iTunes originally). Good to have the album back though, and in my opinion the best version of Puede Ser is the one with only Dani on vocals anyway, which can be found on the Ineditas CD which forms part of the Arriba El Telón boxset.
Here’s the link to A Contracorriente in the iTunes Music Store.

ecdl9-grafitiThis website is a labour of love by Gareth Bouch (that’s me…), a Brit who discovered El Canto Del Loco through an interview with MotoGP star Alvaro Bautista. Having decided to track down and listen to all I could, I fell in love with the band and made it my mission to promote them and pimp them to anybody I could.

The result is this site, though I also mention them on my other Alvaro and MotoGP sites and my personal blog.
Although there’s not anywhere near as much news about ECDL for those of use outside of Spain, I always try and keep my ear to the ground for anything interesting and, with the help of a couple of friends, aim to keep this site as updated and relevant as is possible.
