History
Lole y Manuel made flamenco sound intimate and dreamlike, pairing a warm, open female voice with sparse, poetic guitar songs that had more in common with the singer-songwriter tradition than with the festival stage. The duo came from Seville: Lole Montoya sang, and Manuel Molina wrote and played guitar, having come out of the Sevillian rock band Smash. Their debut Nuevo Día appeared in 1975 and its song Todo es de color became one of the defining songs of the new Andalusian music that grew in the years after Franco. Pasaje del Agua and Al alba con alegría continued the same line: short, lyrical pieces built on flamenco rhythms, with imagery drawn from nature, water and light, and with Arabic and Andalusian echoes in Lole's melodies. They sat at the root of what later became known as nuevo flamenco, opening the form to younger listeners who came from rock and folk. A listener recognises Lole y Manuel by Lole's smooth, unforced voice, Manuel's gentle rhythmic guitar and a hushed, almost pastoral mood.
