We were all waiting for Tejedor´s newalbum…
… and there it is, Llunáticos, a record you will fall in love with.

Llunáticos is for all tastes: for dreamers, for music lovers, for the folk universe, for everybody.

Llunáticos is the second studio recording of the fantastic Asturian band Tejedor lead by the superb bagpiper José Manuel with his brother and sister. Llunáticos will be in music shops from the beginning of June 2003 and will be released by Asturian label Aris Música and distributed by Ediciones Resistencia all over Spain.

Tejedor became successful with their first album called Texedores de Suaños and we are sure that the same thing will happen with this new one.

José Manuel and Javier Tejedor together with Cesar Ibarretxe are responsible for this high quality production.

Llunáticos means a step forward for self management & organization. Tejedor reflects quality, heavy work, talent, magic and accuracy. 12 new songs that will delight everyone because of it´s varied style, it´s brilliand sound as well as it´s wonderful perfomance.

Marvellous musicians whose musical backround is to be found in the rich Asturian traditions, Tejedor shows it´s musical personality in every single concert. Asturian bagpipes and flutes played by perhaps the best Asturian bappiper in recent years, José Manuel Tejedor; accordions, flutes and percussion played by multiinstrumentalist Javier Tejedor; and Eva Tejedor adding her personal voice and artistic feeling in 3 songs. And besides we must add the marvellous and deeply moved string arrangements, , a high quality asturian rhythmic base, electronic programming, the tribal sounds of alboka, txalaparta , zanfona and a large assorted of rich sonorousness, which help in this unique work of asturian music, world music and folk made by Tejedor.

Llunáticos was recorded at Elkar studios in San Sebastian between March and April 2003. Among other musicians that participated in the recording we should mention Kepa Junquera, Igor Medio, Fernando Arias, Horacio A. Garcia, Oreka TX, Xabier Zeberio, Alos Quartet, Ramón Prada, Ramón G. Morán, Merce Santos, James MacKintosh, Ibon Koteron, Lisardo Lombardía, etc.

We are dearly looking at a record directly influenced by the moon

Llunaticos

Gaites del Infiernu
One of the most amazing songs. Composed by Javier Tejedor . Accordion, bagpipes, guitar, bouzouki, nickelharp, alboka and double bass embellish this work.

La Casadina
Marvellous combination of a traditional melody and José Manuel & Javier Tejedor own contribution. Eva´s voice stands out in this song.

Llunáticos - 2003

Unbeliavable! Composed by Javier Tejedor and James MacKintosh unique drum programming ( Capercaillie, Shooglenifty, etc) . Llunáticos gives the name to the album and is a good example of tribal dance with asturian bagpipes and the collaboration of Oreka TX.

Muñeires d´Avilés
José Manuel Tejedor proves why he is believed to be the best asturian bagpipes of the last 50 years. These muñeiras , written by José Manuel are perhaps the best example of asturian sound in the album.

Andolina
The simplicity of this song and Eva Tejedor´s voice go straight to the heart. Beautiful lyrics by Lisardo Lombardia and melody written by José Manuel and Javier Tejedor.

Saltón de Teixoes
Talent plus talent : José Manuel Tejedor and Kepa Junquera turn this instrumental piece into beauty, happiness and passion.

Cares/ Deva
This two compositions with waltz rhythm have taken their names from two asturian rivers. A clear example of parency, placidity and beauty composed by Javier and José Manuel Tejedor.

Pasucais de Coaña
The pasucais is an example of the varied asturian musical styles. The Pasucais de Coaña, written by Javier Tejedor invites you to dance.

N´Alcordanza
The bagpipes calms down your soul in this beautiful composition by Javier Tejedor , featuring José Manuel Tejedor sensibility playing the asturian bagpipes.

Xoneira
A combination of two traditional songs: la xota´l Val.le y Maruxina, adding Tejedor´s accurate arrangements.

Etna
The saddest song of Llunáticos has been written by José Manuel Tejedor who plays low whistle. A beautiful melody with Ramón Prada arrangements adding deepness and romanticism.

Floréu de Remis
Originally composed by Mr. Remis Ovalle , this new version by José Manuel Tejedor will make us believe in angels and paradise. A difficult work to play full of virtuosity and style.
