Review by David Huntington

Tronco Seco – A Folk Gem That Feels Like Home (Even If You Weren’t There) Let’s talk about Tronco Seco, the self-titled album by Tronco Seco, a Spanish folk treasure from 1977. Released under the Regal label, this record dives deep into the heart of Latin folk traditions with a mix of storytelling and raw emotion. It’s not just music—it’s like sitting around a fire, listening to old tales passed down through generations. The kind of stuff that makes you want to grab a guitar and sing along, even if you’re tone-deaf. One thing that stands out is how real it feels. Tracks like “Dale A La Vara” hit hard because they’re so unpolished yet full of life. It’s one of those songs where you can almost picture the musicians jamming in someone’s backyard, maybe sipping on something strong while laughing between takes. There’s no overproduction here—just pure, earthy vibes. I keep coming back to this track because it has this infectious rhythm that sticks with you long after it ends. You’ll find yourself humming it randomly, trust me. Then there’s “Romance Del Carbonero,” which hits different. This one slows things down but packs an emotional punch. The lyrics feel heavy, as if they’re carrying centuries of history on their shoulders. Listening to it feels like flipping through an old photo album your grandparents kept hidden away. It’s hauntingly beautiful, the kind of song that makes you pause whatever you’re doing and just… listen. The album credits are worth mentioning too. Domingo Sánchez, Lisarda Cepa, and Vicenta Pérez lend their voices and talents across various tracks, each bringing their own flavor to the mix. And kudos to Antonio Cea Gutiérrez for the sleeve notes—he clearly put effort into making sure listeners understood the soul behind these songs. What strikes me most about Tronco Seco is how timeless it feels. Even though it came out in the ‘70s, it doesn’t sound dated at all. Maybe it’s because folk music always finds a way to stay relevant, or maybe it’s just that good. Either way, it’s the kind of album that reminds you how universal music can be. Whether you’re in Spain or halfway across the globe, these songs resonate. And honestly? Listening to this album made me realize something weird: folk music might actually be the original form of social media. Think about it—these songs spread stories, share emotions, and connect people without needing hashtags or likes. Wild, right? So yeah, give Tronco Seco a spin if you haven’t already. It’s the perfect soundtrack for lazy Sundays, road trips, or whenever you need a little reminder of what truly matters.
