...is Lágrimas by Las Lloronas, "a Brussels-based trio that merges acoustic music with slam poetry". The trio consists of Sura Solomon (Belgium/USA), Amber in't Veld (Spain/The Netherlands) and Marieke Werner (Germany). This song opens the band's new album Soaked that I learned about thanks to the Songlines review.
...is Vivo, from the new album of the same name by the Belgian-Colombian outfit La Chiva Gantiva.
The festival Fuerteventura en Música is a highlight of the year here, music-wise. It will take place in El Cotillo on 6 and 7 July (actually finishing in early hours of 8 July). This years's line-up includes Canteca de Macao (Spain), Electrolapas (Fuerteventura), Huecco (Spain), Krema Kawa (Belgium), La Phaze (France), Chila Lynn (Cuba), Marujita (Spain), Meneo (Guatemala), Nayaband (Senegal-Canary Islands), Althay Páez (Fuerteventura) and Chabola Vip (Argentina). Special bus services from/to Corralejo and Puerto del Rosario will be available for the festival-goers.
...is La Vida Callada, duet of Natacha Atlas and Clara Sanabras, from the album Ana Hina. Natacha Atlas and The Mazeeka Ensemble play at Cambridge Junction on 3 October.
The Renaissance song Din Din has been performed by many vocal ensembles — check YouTube, for example. I first heard this version performed by (then) all-female Afro-Belgian band Zap Mama. Incidentally, that is the only song in Spanish I heard from them, but I loved all their a cappella songs from this album.
Dindirin danya, dindirindin. |
