Santa Esmeralda is one of the European disco groups which began a movement in the sound of dance music in the late 70’s. “Seville Nights” is an instrumental piece released on the soundtrack to “Thank God It’s Friday” in 1978 in a double vinyl package. The track was also featured in the film and was produced by Jean-Manuel de Scarano and Nicolas Skorsky. The flamenco instrumental is an outline of the Spanish themes which the band always projected in an orchestral layout. Many of their tracks are disco classics in not only the originality of their execution, but in the full arrangements which Santa Esmeralda was known for.
I have taken the 12” version of “Seville Nights” and replayed the track for this ReStructure Mix which is a tribute to Santa Esmeralda. The Spanish guitars are given more space here and there are a few new breaks and dub moments throughout the new mix.
