About the Name
“El indalo is a symbol well-known in the Almería province of Spain. It appears in rock art panels of the region that date back approximately 6,000 years. In modern times it connotes magic and good fortune. In 2008, not long after Jacob and I started playing music together, we were privileged to visit one of these ancient sites on a stormy day in the foothills of the Sierra Maria near the beautiful village of Velez Blanco. We were so impressed by the experience, we wanted the name of our band to reflect the wonder of that place and the magical energy of that enigmatic figure. Such were the first stirrings of Indalo Wind." (EW)
