The album doesn't have a single wasted moment. When it finishes, you want to play it on repeat. Great tracks, impeccable arrangements, top-notch production, and above all, a fresh and flavorful work.

It will touch your heart and make you want to dance. It's the perfect album to listen to with a glass of wine, to accompany an evening with friends, or simply to fall in love with. It works in any mood. And that's why I give it the five stars rating. I really wish that there will soon be a Senza Confine Vol. 2, or many more n the future.</I></div> <div> <B>XAVI MALACARA   19 APRIL, 2026 </B></div> <div> <B>BAD MUSIC RADIO</B></div> <div> <A HREF="https://badmusicradio.com/2026/04/19/big-mama-montse-y-la-piedra-filosofal/?fbclid=IwY2xjawRTHw5leHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZBAyMjIwMzkxNzg4MjAwODkyAAEechBlzL16bpEsCDrgOGM7y4hTgW1iDIakxN8Z6CdmC30QRICtcrtC_edwVT8_aem_8nf_qv4ANXPOzT-COn5HdA" TARGET="_top" TITLE="https://badmusicradio.com/2026/04/19/big"><U>https://badmusicradio.com</U></A></div> <bR> <div> <B>BIG MAMA MONTSE & CAPTAIN’S BROTHERHOOD Senza Confine Vol. 1 </B></div> <div> <I>Big Mama Montse & Captain's Brotherhood began their musical journey as a trio in 2023, marking Big Mama’s 35th anniversary in the blues scene, and embarked together on a tour that lasted two years. The project reached a new level of maturity during the making of Smile in 2025, recorded in a sextet format. Now they return with a new EP titled Senza Confine Vol.1. The record opens with the outstanding soul track Soul Connections, inspired by the recent peaceful protests in Minneapolis. Fridman’s bass lays down the contours and sets the space where the song unfolds. Burguez’s piano work also deserves special mention. Montse delivers a flawless vocal performance. Next comes the blues number You’re My Angel, where she channels energy and conviction in abundance. </I></div> <div> <I>Funk takes centre stage in Qué quiero de ti. Montse proves once again her versatility and deep commitment to every track on the record. It’s impossible not to move while listening to this song. Spinozzi contributes a strong solo, while the rhythm section — Burguez, Fridman and Suau — keeps the groove tight and the intensity perfectly balanced. Glass of Tears opens with a delicate guitar line that gently carries the listener throughout the entire song. It is a beautiful and moving blues ballad, full of feeling without ever becoming overly sentimental. With Sex o Clock, the band returns to infectious funky rhythms. The title says it all — imagination takes over. The EP closes with a lively, playful and elegant bossa, Bossa 4 For You, sung in Spanish. </I></div> <div> <I>Montse’s compositions and the arrangements are excellent. The performances are polished yet fresh, sincere and free. Listening to Senza Confine Vol.1 by Big Mama Montse and Captain’s Brotherhood makes everyday worries fade away; it invites you to dance and leaves you wanting to press play all over again.</I></div> <div> <B>La Habitación del Jazz </B></div> <div> <A HREF="https://lahabitaciondeljazz.blogspot.com/2026/06/big-mama-montse-captains-brotherhood-cd.html?m=1&fbclid=IwY2xjawSWiQ5leHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZBAyMjIwMzkxNzg4MjAwODkyAAEeBLG7he71pJdTmXlr_bgGc18KXkgcxvWPkff7VdqvaPL7C1W5E5smEFgHAcg_aem_lH0JYcwIDBPrB8H9o5apYQ" TARGET="_top" TITLE="https://lahabitaciondeljazz.blogspot.com"><U><B>https://lahabitaciondeljazz.blogspot.com</B></U></A><B> </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>BIG MAMA MONTSE & CAPTAIN’S BROTHERHOOD</B></div> <div> <B>Senza Confine Vol. 1</B></div> <div> <I>This Catalan artist is one of the great ladies of blues in our country. With a career marked by numerous recordings and collaborations, she also stands out for her educational work, bringing the genre closer to audiences of all ages. Founder of the European Blues Union and recipient of several awards, there is little doubt that her achievements would have earned her wider recognition elsewhere. Unconcerned by that, Big Mama continues to devote herself to her art. Here she appears in one of those collaborations: her second record with Captain's Brotherhood, where her voice sounds as powerful and richly coloured as ever. An EP that moves between Spanish (“Qué quiero de ti”) and English, and in which the vocalist, together with her versatile accompanists, ventures into other styles: soul in the silky “You’re my angel”, funk (“Soul Connections”), jazz (“Glass of Tears”), and even Latin rhythms such as “Bossa 4 You”, across six self-penned compositions. Another step forward in an enviable career.</I></div> <div> <B>MANEL CELEIRO, JUNIO 2026</B></div> <div> <B>RUTA 66,  Nº 448</B></div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <IMG SRC="1bbe5ee50.jpg" border=0 width="862" height="485" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="1bed70a70.jpg" border=0 width="880" height="423" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="1c5b714b0.jpg" border=0 width="881" height="587" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> Foto Txus Garcia</div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYh6B5AYU0o" TARGET="_top" TITLE="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYh6B5AY"><U><IMG SRC="159556240.jpg" border=0 width="86" height="36" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></U></A></div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2qFua55Iqw" TARGET="_top" TITLE="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2qFua55"><U><IMG SRC="159556240.jpg" border=0 width="86" height="36" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></U></A></div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OkmN5RUg7PY" TARGET="_top" TITLE="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OkmN5RUg"><U><IMG SRC="159556240.jpg" border=0 width="86" height="36" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></U></A></div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yc53nY8ym0M" TARGET="_top" TITLE="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yc53nY8y"><U><IMG SRC="159556240.jpg" border=0 width="86" height="36" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></U></A></div> <bR> <div> <A HREF=" https://open.spotify.com/intl-es/album/2Yq1a00k4zoO9Dv2T8HFEJ" TARGET="_top" TITLE=" https://open.spotify.com/intl-es/album"><U><IMG SRC="185a58250.jpg" border=0 width="88" height="37" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></U></A></div> <bR> <div> Information / Booking on:</div> <div> <A HREF="mailto:sonora0musica@gmail.com" TARGET="_top" TITLE="mailto:sonora0musica@gmail.com"><U><B>sonora0musica@gmail.com</B></U></A></div> <div> <A HREF="mailto:bmamamontse@yahoo.es" TARGET="_top" TITLE="mailto:bmamamontse@yahoo.es"><U><B>bmamamontse@yahoo.es</B></U></A></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>BIG MAMA MONTSE & SISTER MARION</B></div> <div> From the beginning of the 20th century, women played a vital role in the dissemination of the blues, chronicling an era with their immense musical creativity. Their themes were often raw expressions of their emotions, shaping them into songs. In a duo concert, <B>Big Mama Montse </B>on vocals and <B>Sister Marion</B> on piano will bring us closer to the universe of the blues from a female perspective. With them, we'll discover why the ladies voices resonated in theaters and towns, conveying to the audience the message of personal experiences, sometimes expressing their lives in an intimate and melancholic way, or with humour and irreverence. All these contrasts will be shown in this concert where both artists perform convinced to recreate the sound of those phenomenal blues pioneers of the genre.</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> BIG MAMA MONTSE: <FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#FFFFCC" FACE="Tahoma" >Vocals </FONT></div> <div> SISTER MARION: Piano</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="1ba91b120.jpg" border=0 width="795" height="530" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> Photo: Pierpaolo Sarra</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="1bf6d4cd0.jpg" border=0 width="724" height="717" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> Photo: Ángel Marín</div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fogDts26lg&list=UUbWJbhEq68la_SbSafNHMxA" TARGET="_top" TITLE="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fogDts2"><U><IMG SRC="159556240.jpg" border=0 width="86" height="36" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></U></A></div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKwes13SG6A" TARGET="_top" TITLE="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKwes13S"><U><IMG SRC="159556240.jpg" border=0 width="86" height="36" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></U></A></div> <bR> <div> Information / Booking on:</div> <div> <A HREF="mailto:sonora0musica@gmail.com" TARGET="_top" TITLE="mailto:sonora0musica@gmail.com"><U><B>sonora0musica@gmail.com</B></U></A></div> <div> <A HREF="mailto:bmamamontse@yahoo.es" TARGET="_top" TITLE="mailto:bmamamontse@yahoo.es"><U><B>bmamamontse@yahoo.es</B></U></A></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
