La Monja Enana

Que viva le Pop! [2008]

POP-001 CD [sold out]

Making the most of the double tour bill featuring Spanish francophiles LES TRÈS BIEN ENSEMBLE and Brit indie legends WOULD-BE-GOODS in 2006 (three dates in Spain in February, plus three dates in the UK in June), Elefant Records and Fortuna POP! release a fantastic compilation joining the best of both catalogues. A magnificent release for indiepop lovers, twelve bands per label, which is given away for free with the tickets for the shows on this tour.
This is the first in a series of collaborations between both labels which will take the shape of parties, tours, gigs and, who knows, more records to come in the future. For the moment, this album features WOULD-BE-GOODS and LES TRÈS BIEN ENSEMBLE, of course, and also CORAZÓN, THE LUCKSMITHS, CAMERA OBSCURA, AIRPORT GIRL, SINGLE, LA CASA AZUL, THE LOVES, BEARSUIT, NOSOTRÄSH or Elefant's new signing JUPITER APPLE, up to a total of 24 songs.

Cuentos de Navidad [2006]

JAB-2036 CD Digipak

The fourth volume of our “Teoría y Práctica Melódica” series it is dedicated to the most special of topics: Christmas. It features, as usual, most part of the Jabalina roster of artists plus many guests, all of them Spanish, this time. The result compiles much more than just 18 unreleased songs about Christmas: combine Souvenir’s stark-naked gentleness, Astrud’s crude vision, and the meticulous musings of Apenino, Parade or Ama. Or the festive atmosphere of La Casa Azul and La Monja Enana, as opposed to Nadadora and Mirafiori’s introspection. Or the vocal brilliance of Corazón, Color Caramelo de Ron and Underwater Tea Party contrasting with Uke, Raro & Apenino’s ethereal instrumentality. Montevideo, Aldo Linares and Humanoid contribute their delicate electronica while Polar’s buzzing and J’aime acoustic approach bring the record to a spectacular close. To sum up, "Cuentos de Navidad" it’s a treat full of surprises where the listener can find two interesting cover versions (Yoko Ono’s “Listen, the snow is falling” which Nadadora sing in Galician with a Galaxie 500 touch, or José Feliciano’s “Feliz Navidad” which La Casa Azul have transformed into this Christmas’ dancefloor hit with a distinctive Boney M flavour) and much more...
