Fandangos in Space is the 1973 debut album by flamenco-rock band Carmen.
Rock critic Ryan Reed has described their music as flamenco prog rock, "In a glammy yelp, the frontman sang tales of bullfights and gypsies, as the music blended Mellotron, rock rhythms, and zapateado footwork into a cosmic headfuck (produced by David Bowie collaborator Tony Visconti)." [3]
All tracks are written by David Clark Allen, except where noted..
