MORE DRACO NEWS:
In 2005, Draco released the critically acclaimed live DVD/CD, “AL NATURAL.” The DVD footage was directed by Latin Grammy winner Angela Alvarado Rosa and captures Draco’s electrifying performance from his historic concert at the newly constructed coliseum, Coliseo Jose Miguel Agrelot in Puerto Rico. “DRACO: AL NATURAL” documents the legendary night of September 18, 2004, a night unlike any other, but in the words of Draco, “the perfect night,” just days after Hurricane Jeanne struck the island and left it completely without electricity. Draco’s set included songs from his classic “Vagabundo,” “Songbirds & Roosters” and “Mad Love” albums and a segment with some of Spain’s most talented players, including the Carmona Family, the Lozado Brothers and hot Flamenco dancer, José Maya. The DVD also features behind the scenes footage, exclusive interviews and five videos, in addition to the performance.

Draco has been busy these days. He is currently laying down tracks for a new album and is in the middle of rehearsing for a new tour. Stay tuned for more details.
