Raices is the first album by Spanish rock band
La Fuga following the departure of bassist and lead singer Rulo and guitarist Fito. The band chose to replace them with bassist Raúl Serrano and singer/guitarist Pedro Fernández (ex-
Mr. Fylyn); Fernández's voice, less prone to melancholy than Rulo's, gives the revamped
La Fuga a more luminous stance. Continuity is ensured by usual producer Javier San Martín on an album of punchy guitar rock that is not too distant from their previous work, revisiting familiar thematic terrain with renewed enthusiasm. ~ Mariano Prunes
