Firewash feat. Perico Sambeat - Firewash (2022) [Hi-Res]

It’s not necessary to tell again the legend behind the phoenix bird to explain the meaning of this album. Fire Wash, 'to clean with fire', is a task that the most experienced farmers have been using since ancient times. Burning the margins of their fields or the weeds in their orchard to get a fertile new soil. In a more mystical approach, some Hindu spiritual leaders have preached about a method to cleanse body and soul through a flame bath ritual. A sort of mixture of these two apparently opposed procedures —pragmatic and otherwordly— can be found in some students' apartments, in their most desperate attempts to wash the dishes stacked in the sink.

With this image in mind we created the music you will listen to. A stream of purification, a flow of unstoppable flames, a burning river that drifts through the pieces of this recording.

Shout out to Perico Sambeat, a voice with no introduction needed. Still, if you are new to him, listen to his solos. You will understand how his energy sparks this wildfire of sound.
