“We are a fresh and vibrant ensemble that brings new life to traditional music of Spain and Latin America. We try to present our music with honesty hoping to capture the stories that are told in each song. We focus particularly on a form of traditional spanish music called COPLAS. Outside of Spain this form of music is not know, but inside Spain they carry large significance. They reflect the passion and dreams of the Spanish people after the Spanish Civil War (1940s), during the dictatorship.”
