La Coral Cósmica ‎– Triptic (1979, LP, Spain)

This is most probably a lost gem of Spanish music from the 70's. And though not entirely Progressive in its core, it does have its interest for Spanish Prog Rock lovers. The music is mainly 70's pop with a strong folk flavor and some more complex structures, therefore the Prog connection. While the vocals are totally dated and almost entirely pop (exceptions are to be found, like in track 5, the instrumentation is crafted and thoughtful, gracing the listener with some very good musical moments. Unlike bands such as Triana or Mezquita, the folk components here presented are not exclusively based on the South (Seville) gipsy orientations. The interest here is undoubtedly focused on the music underneath the completely naif vocals, but in that department, the album does have its (very good) moments.
