When
Indigo
Balboa
and Paco Cerezo started to work
together in 2008 they felt that their musical talents are a perfect match.
At the time the Spanish duo started to
compose songs together and founded the band INDICCO, Indigo Balboa had just returned from California where he
was working on his second solo album with the well known musician/song
writer/producer Mark Spiro and Paco Cerezo had just left the
internationally renowned Spanish Melodic Rock band 91 Suite of which he was the co-founder
and guitar player.
Three
years in the making, “Karmalion” marks INDICCO’s debut album, a pure Melodic
Rock affair of international quality, combining fresh new ideas with the classic
AOR trademarks of the bands that inspired INDICCO’s sound, like Survivor, Giant, John
Waite, Toto and Bad English.
“Karmalion” unites the Spanish Melodic
Rock elite with three iconic AOR heavyweights, underlining the high musical
standard the band is aiming for :
Jimi
Jamison
(Survivor), one of the best vocalists
of the AOR genre, is sharing lead vocals with Indigo Balboa on three tracks, did
backing vocals and co-wrote a song as well.
Mark
Spiro
(Bad English, Giant, John
Waite, Mr. Big) co-wrote and recorded vocals for three songs of the
album. He also played piano and keyboards and took care of parts of the
production at his studio in Carlsbad, California.
Tim
Pierce
(Rick Springfield, John Waite, Eric Martin), one of the most in
demand session guitar players on the globe is featured on additional
guitars.
The
album was produced by Indigo Balboa,
Paco Cerezo and Mark Spiro and the band INDICCO is completed by Antonio Muñoz (ex-91
Suite) on bass, Lean Martinez
(ex-91
Suite) on drums and Angel
Valdegrama
on keys.
In
their home country where they toured with Jimi Jamison and several other
international acts the band already won praise for their powerful live sound.
This
year INDICCO will be on tour again
to promote their album “Karmalion”,
on some dates they will be sharing the stage with Jimi Jamison.
