Davide

In December 2013, Davide Lufrano Chaves, a founding member of this gifted flamenco-rumba duo died from blood cancer aged just 30. He and Hungarian Edina Balczó had met in 2010 and busked in London together until they scored gigs and slots at festivals, including Shambala and Glastonbury. Davide is her heartfelt homage to a friend and companion, with new guitarist Marc Rodríguez Alvarez, from Spain, now providing the melodies to Balczó's percussive strums.

As with De Fuego's debut, Bluebird, the new album is in the mould of Rodrigo y Gabriela – likeable, foot-tapping, vivacious, jolly, a bit showy, and sometimes slender on substance. But there's an underlying melancholy, even when the pair are blitzing us with arpeggios and spiralling scales. The nine songs are littered with familiar quotes from folk songs, usually over before you can quite recall their title. If world music is, in the main, an exported ethnicity, this is global music – a mish-mash that is uprooted, hard to place and travelling light.
