To the times we currently live we must put a little imagination. It was always said that union is strength, so this year “Los chanclas” join “Los toreros muertos” and the tour “TOREROS CON CHANCLAS” is born. A fun and casual bet that their followers will have the opportunity to enjoy with that joy and peculiarity that characterize the two bands.
As we all know, the Cordovan Randy López is preparing his fourth solo album with important collaborations. This weekend Randy traveled to Seville so that Ángel Ruiz (guitar of Storm) recorded the guitars of a couple of songs for his new work that will be called “Apocalipsis”.
They recalled moments they shared with Storm and Expresión and later with Mezquita. The feeling between these two music was total, we had fun recording, eating and especially for the reunion.
The Andalusian rock group SHERISH presents the new edition of their first album “El Candil”
“ The place chosen is the room La Guarida del Ángel”
Wednesday, June 9, 2021 at 12:00 h. 5 LUNAS PRODUCTIONS in collaboration with the CULTURAL ASSOCIATION DOBLECEROCLUB and the living room THE ANGEL’S LAIR of Jerez, present in the aforementioned room, the new and very worked edition of the first album of the Jerez group SHERISH: “The Lamp”
When
SHERISH
(Jerez in Arabic) recorded “El Candil” in 2017 did not belong to the office of 5 Lunas Producciones. Now we rescue this first work with the challenge of making a total transformation. Not only is it presented in a new format (digifile) of beautiful vinyl cd with new graphic designs very attractive, and totally ecological. If not also, and this is the most important novelty, a work of musical archaeology has been carried out applying new mixes and meticulously recovering sounds and instruments that did not appear in the first edition. The icing on the cake has been that a new mastering has also been carried out, achieving a warmer and more analog sound, which we currently miss so much.
5 Moons It aims to enhance to the maximum the values and magic that this recording contained. The compositional quality and the waste of energy that the group gives off, was worth the effort.
Now we can enjoy this album again, because
SHERISH
It is one of the most prosperous groups of Andalusian progressive rock, with a marked Andalusian sound with arabesque passages and a great forcefulness in its rhythmic base. Another exponent of the so-called “new Andalusian rock” who aspire to take the baton of the legacy left by their legendary teachers and musicians who remain the main source of inspiration.
The sound of the group
SHERISH
It has a totally personal and unmistakable stamp that every time they get more followers. With this new Candil a new path is illuminated, which will be the preamble to the second album that we are currently recording and that we will publish before the end of the year.
It is also important to highlight the collaborations in this recording of artists such as: Fae Ramos (Los Delincuentes-Gipsy Rock), Randy López (Mezquita-Ex Medina Azahara), Paco Delgado (Cai), José Anillo, Fernando Caro, Jesús Melli and José Manuel Muñoz.
The young Andalusian rocker GATO VENTURA joins 5 Lunas. The strength of their carefree, original urban rock, full of energy and creativity becomes another new hiring option for our production company. In this way we expand the range of opportunities providing more variety.
Yesterday, Monday, May 17, 5 Lunas had an important meeting to find new allies to promote Andalusian rock in the province of Malaga. Varo (media) and Iñaki (former politician) support the new ideas and initiatives presented by 5 Lunas to continue with the expansion in the area. As the projects are consolidated, we will report.
Yesterday, Friday, May 7, a talk – colloquium on Andalusian rock was held at the facilities of “La Térmica” in Malaga. Organized by the Diputación de Málaga and presented by Héctor Márquez, the origins and evolution of Andalusian rock were discussed. Pepe Roca from the Alameda group and Manuel Imán, from the Imán Califato Independiente group were the invited musicians to tell and directly share their experiences. Talk very well directed by Héctor who knew how to get out of Pepe and Manuel the most human and spontaneous side of each of them.
They dared to sing between the two some brushstrokes to illustrate musically the act that was widely applauded by the attendees.Activities like this and a lot of promotion in the media is what we need to increase the attendance of the public in the concerts of any band or musician that sustains an Andalusian rock show.
We attended the event very interested accompanied by the musician Juan Delola, who is also contributing his grain of sand to the genre, and we show once again the support and our commitment to Andalusian rock that we love passionately.

When SHERISH recorded “El candil” in 2017 it did not belong to the office of 5 Lunas Producciones and they did it in a self-produced way. When we were their manager we always wanted to produce a reissue of this album because we were convinced that we could get much more sound performance.
We are currently immersed in a pure work of sound archaeology, dusting off tracks and recovering sounds from that recording that Sherish made in Nashville Studios, because we do not want to record it again, it would not be the same, and the “magic” that that album had would be lost. We have reached an agreement with the technicians of Nashville and between them and 5 Lunas, we are dedicating time, care and a lot of love in reviewing track by track, second by second all the content of the recorded material. We can tell you that the result is being amazing and very surprising. The effort is worth it because 5 Lunas always bet on Sherish, and as in all previous editions of 5 Lunas, we are also very proud of this work.
So in full preparation and recording sessions of what will be Sherish’s second work, we launch with this reissue of “El candil” with a new format with the healthy intention of leaving the work in the place it deserves.
¡¡¡¡Sesigue defending and betting on the continuity of the legacy of Andalusian rock¡¡¡
Meeting in Jerez de la Frontera with Juanma Rodríguez (keyboardist and one of Sherish’s composers). We begin to address the production of what will be the second album of this magnificent Andalusian progressive rock band where they are especially characterized, apart from their originality and forcefulness, the arabesque and Andalusian sounds.
We face this work with great enthusiasm and with the conviction that it will end up being a discazo.
Jaime Padilla (ONZA) and Juan Antonio Vergara (5 LUNAS) meet to study details of the production of ONZA’s new album. We have for sale some merchandising items in our online store https://5lunas.net/producto-categoria/artistas/onza/ and we agreed to reveal on our website the name of the album: “Divergence and convergence”
There are many tracks recorded and I can assure you that we are facing a pleasant and important evolution of the band, for now we will only detract from the name of the album. Little by little we will advance information.
We are pleased to announce that on March 5th, the Andalusian progressive rock band VÁNDALUS has signed a manager contract with us. We have a new record project underway that we will share with you shortly and we are sure that it is only the beginning of many great musical moments.
“ After it rains in the eyes it always scampes in the heart”
On February 14 at 20:00 hours, 5 LUNAS PRODUCCIONES and SHERISH will present exclusively the premiere of the video clip of our new song “Escampa”.
In this production we have had the important collaboration of Manuel Martínez (Singer of Medina Azahara), along with other musicians. We think that with “Escampa” we take another step forward to keep intact the goal of continuing to give a lot of life to Andalusian Progressive Rock.

“After it rains in the eyes it always scampes in the heart”
5 Lunas Producciones will present in a few days the new video clip on the impeccable theme of our group: SHERISH. We are very satisfied with the production of “Escampa” because once again they demonstrate the potential of composition and execution of the band. From here we want to thank the outstanding collaboration of Manuel Martínez (Singer of Medina Azahara) and Manuel Ibañez (Medina Azahara). Jesús Melli (D’Caramelo) has also collaborated with the choirs. And Antonio Ramírez (Casa Andalucía de Leganés) with flamenco guitar.
Another peculiarity that “Escampa” has is that after 47 years, SHERISH reunites two musicians who played together in the first stage of “Retorno” (Juan Antonio Ramirez – guitar and Manuel Martínez – voice), a band that preceded MEDINA AZAHARA.
With them, “Escampa” became even bigger.

It should be noted that the first testimony of this agreement will be reflected in the participation of Storm and Mezquita in the tenth version of the Santiago Art Rock Festival, on February 5 and 6.
Randy López has a new project that will undoubtedly surprise very pleasantly. Rarities, innovations and the musical power that has always characterized this great master of Andalusian Rock, are the ingredients of the next album that Randy López will put on the market during 2021 with 5 Lunas Producciones.
5 Lunas trusts blindly in his creativity and experience, that’s why we are going to produce a discazo with a lot of love and professionalism.
We continue to bet on Randy!, In addition, we have done many things together and we will continue to do them.
Mezquita is currently working on composing new songs for his next album. Ideas that were pending recording merge with the new ones to prepare the third studio album of these pioneers of Spanish progressive rock markedly Andalusian.
After the meeting we had with Jaime Padilla, Onza’s guitarist, we advanced two news. The first is that the band’s next album is in the works. The songs are composed by him and Alejandro Pérez (keyboardist) and they tell us that they have given it a new touch but without leaving the usual progressive, more orthodox and with fewer fusions.
The second news is that this work will come out with the 5 Lunas label and it is expected that we will enter the recording studio for March or April 2021, Until that date they will be studying arrangements and outlining each song to get them ready for recording.
… the popular Sevillian group, promotes their latest album “Rock con Tomate” returning to the charge with their carefree lyrics and with the seal that characterizes them, the Agropop.
We would like to inform all the followers of the group and people interested in our music, that currently and until we can resume the live activity, we are working on new ideas and songs that we hope to show you in the future … Meanwhile, you can enjoy our latest album Legado, published this year and edited by 5 Lunas Producciones.
