“En Continuo” is the second album by Madrid-based flutist Carmen Vela. An album full of energy and immediacy. Music that tells cosmopolitan, light-filled stories through richly jazzy harmonies. Urban music that blends seamlessly with the quartet, creating a distinctive sound that moves between powerful, driving sonorities and the warm texture of wood. Poetic melodies play with different rhythms to create vibrant, living music.

“En Continuo” is a concept in motion—constant becoming, fusion, exploration, and enjoyment. With a contemporary jazz sound and subtle nods to classic swing and Latin styles, En Continuo stays true to its philosophy: consistency and persistence.
