'Wonderland' is the Daniel García Trio's third album on ACT. And whereas the previous albums 'Travesuras' (2019) and 'Vía de la Plata' (2021) were still characterized by clear influences from flamenco and traditional Spanish music, García has now cast his net wider. There are flamenco borrowings on 'Wonderland', but they are more subtle and sit alongside a whole range of inspirations from modern jazz, classical music, pop, together with influences from the Caribbean and the Middle East. At the same time, 'Wonderland' is also about the inner search: Daniel García quotes Swiss psychologist Carl Jung in the liner notes: 'Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.' García invites his listeners to explore their own feelings and thoughts - in 'this secret haven where our deep-est illusions and most fervent hopes reside, guiding us through the labyrinth of life.'

The power of music to improve the world may sound utopian. But Daniel García, a soft-spoken man, warm-hearted and always smiling, will make you believe it. Take the opportunity to go with him as he travels through his 'wonderland'. The journey is fulfilling, worthwhile and memorable.
