Album Notes

Malamaña is the the combination of the musical flavors and talents of San Diego guitarists John "Juanito" Tidwell and Fred "Fredi" Kunze, who have played together as a guitar duo since the year 2000. Over the years MalaMaña has worked as a duo, trio and quintet as they have brought their unique form of latin music with sizzling guitars and passionate vocals in Spanish. Their new CD, the self-titled MalaMaña, was recorded, mixed and produced by San Diego musical luminary Allan Phillips, a native of Venezuela. Allan brought his profound musical talent and knowledge to the CD project to make it something truly special. MalaMaña is proud to call San Diego its home and Cafe Sevilla its headquarters. The band has played at many local events including opening for Poncho Sanchez and Enanitos Verdes. Malamaña's music draws from many styles- rumba, rock, jazz, salsa, blues and flamenco. The MalaMaña sound was developed and born amid the fun and musical freedom of the tapas bar at Cafe Sevilla in San Diego. ¡Qué bárbaro!
