This recording features Ángel Ontalva and the core of Vespero (Alexander Kuzovlev on guitar, Ark Fedotov on bass, and Ivan Fedotov on drums) live at Tuneyadets Hall in Astrakhan on May 17, 2025, just a couple of weeks ago, performing compositions from the two studio albums Ángel and Vespero made together, Carta Marina and Sada, celebrating the beginnings of an extensive collaboration dating back more than eight years. They are raw, direct, and powerful versions, without embellishments, going to the heart of the compositions. I hope you enjoy it. / Ángel Ontalva
