Amparo told the crowd that all of the songs on Tucson-Habana were written from the heart, which was evident from the passion with which she sings them live.
Largely downtempo, soulful soaring melodies combine with Latin/folky instrumentals you'd expect from a collaboration with Calexico. This was much less energetic than the last time I saw her with Amparanoia, but as a big fan I was pretty much mesmerised from start to finish.
The supporting act, Fran and Josh, are two young guys smashing a ridiculously high-energy flamenco/ska/fun fusion out of their guitars. The lead singer looked like he was having a great time and it's impossible not to be entertained by that sort of thing!
