This album is a debut full of originality, which faithfully expresses where this
musician, capable of embracing almost everything, comes from. Listening to it, one senses that David comes from classical jazz, but also from flamenco, electronic sounds, Mediterranean music or rock… Too many labels.

“I dig this trip of black music sound, close to the hammond. A fusion of
flamenco with afroamerican music very well achieved.”
“Where We Come From is a research album. It comes from many places
and keeps looking for a destination. David Ruiz shows an enormous
versatility as a composer and as an instrumentalist. His research is very
moving for its sincerity. It is music elevated to the most personal
expression.”
“A fantastic album, with an immense instrumental quality. From the
beginning we find ethnic sounds that take us to the roots of very different
places.”
“Where We Come From is a great debut impregnated with a fresh
Mediterranean sound, very personal and expressive. I hope it will be a
discovery for jazz people who didn’t know David Ruíz’s worth and will put
him in the place he deserves”
“An album like the one David has recorded with his collaborators, will not
leave purists of every musical style in a state of indifference””
“After listening to this album I have discovered that besides being a great
bass and double bass player, David is a great composer and arranger, with
very good taste to intertwine the musical styles that most influence him
and thus achieve a personal and original voice that is so hard to find.”
“An interesting proposal in which the musician from Puertollano reveals
himself not only as the great bass player he is, but also as a composer and
arranger.””
