 Opinions and other informations:

    

Progressive Jazz-fusion from Alicante. Their only album had very nice reviews when it was released. Now it just can't be found. They named them the spanish Weather Report because they have a lot of quality and also have a similar line-up (guitarist instead of percussionist) and sound.Today their record, released then by the Aphrodita labek, just can't be found nowadays and has not been re-released in CD. There was an attempt to recording a second one with the keyboardist Pepe included as a full member in the band, but, although there were recording sessions, and someone must have the demo, it didn't came to light. Yet another band spoiled by the military service of their components. The name of the album, far from being explained by some sort of mystical or mythological journey, comes from an old man friend of them unable to properly pronounce the word "Francia" when speaking about the band's trips. (José Manuel Iñesta)
