Celia Medhurst

After finishing up with the Albá Llaléc Project, I worked with Celia Medhurst and her guitarists Oracio Barzola and his son Leonel. I met Celia through Abel, the first artist I recorded, she is his mother. We had 2 full day sessions that were a lot of fun! She was really great to work with. We recorded 10 origial tracks consisting of original Tangos, Zambas, Milongas, a Chamame, and Vals.. The first day session was at Celias house. We due to Isolation issues, we decided to record all the guitar tracks first with scratch vocals and then do the real voclas later. We recorded guitar from 10am to 9pm and finished. Abel was there and acompanied on a couple of tracks aswell.. Around 9:30 the guitarists left and Celia and I decided to make an attempt at the vocals.. She was great.. After recording scratch vocals for almost 11 hours she still had it in her to try and lay down some tracks. By 11pm we worked through about 70% of the songs and I called it… I was tiered and had to tell this 70 year old lady that I needed a break and we should continue tomorrow… ha ha haaaa.. It was embaressing.
The next day we reconviened at 4 in the afternoon. We finished the rest of the vocals as well as Oracio’s song and got a good mixdown of the project.
