Josephine Foster and the Victor Herrero Band – Anda Jaleo

Description

1000 copies worldwide. Originally released in 2010, now re-issued on vinyl. A live recording of Las Canciones; a visceral celebration of the persistence of popular anonymous song based on the work of legendary socialist poet Federico Garca Lorca, a Granada born literary pioneer. Featuring songs from his 1931 collection of mysteriously beautiful flamenco tunes. A poetically rich collection created by Foster and Herrero for their acoustic band, formed while living in the Grenadine Sierra. Fosters vocals, met by husband Herreros frantic and raw gypsy-band orchestration, demonstrates the sense of urgency in the musics message well and carries Anda Jaleo to an elevated state. The Line Of Best Fit // The alt-folk fixture returns to more traditional material. Pitchfork.
