Review by Heinrich Maria Hüttenmüller

Mónica Rodríguez's album, De Tradición Oral 1 Mónica Rodríguez Canciones y Bailes de la Pandereta Olea Cantabria, is an exceptional piece of work that showcases the rich musical heritage of Cantabria. The album features a collection of traditional songs and dances performed with the pandereta, a traditional tambourine-like instrument.

Mónica's voice is both powerful and soulful, perfectly complementing the lively beats of the pandereta. The album takes the listener on a journey through the vibrant and colorful world of Cantabrian folk music. From the upbeat rhythms of "La Rueda de Laredo" to the haunting melody of "La Serrana de la Vera", each track is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Cantabria.

The album also features some exceptional musicianship, with Mónica's expert use of the pandereta adding a unique flavor to each track. The traditional instruments used in the album, such as the guitar and accordion, blend seamlessly with the pandereta to create a truly authentic sound.
