Coplas & romances

This CD offers a new interpretation of "la copla", a genre strongly related to the Sapnish culture. Coplas have usually wonderful texts, describing like no other genre Spaniards miseries and greatness, pains and daily joys. The originality of the project characterizes itself by the symphonic treatment and the careful vocal treatment of the pieces. Many of them became so popular that they constitute the sound track of a crucial period of Spanish history. The pieces are beautifully performed by Joaquín Pixán.
