La canción de la semana #564

...is El Corazón del Sapo by the Madrid-based The Machetazo. The members of this quintet studied jazz at Musikene (Conservatorio Superior de Música de País Vasco), San Sebastián, but it was New York where they decided to form a band. This theme appears on their album 1290 Prospect Place.

The Machetazo: Jorge Castañeda (piano), Daniel Juárez (sax), Nacho Fernández (guitar), Darío Guibert (double bass) and Mikel Urretagoiena (drums).
