Long description: 2002 release by Esther Fonseca in which she proves her artistic
development and shows great vocal sensitivity in how she adapts to texts and
melodies written by her father, the well known Asturian musician Nacho
Fonseca. Much of the recording´s merit lies also, aside from the composer
himself, in the work of two exceptional young Asturian folk musicians,
Héctor Braga (from Llangres) and Marco Rodríguez,
both of whome take care of most of the arrangements on the album. The musicians
who took part in the recoding, besides the aforementioned, are virtually all
equally young and with some part in the outstanding Asturian-folk resurgence of
recent years: Borja Baragaño (whistles, flutes, Asturian pipes,
Uilleann pipes), Aitor Miyares (accordion), Yago Prado (Celtic
harp and acoustic guitar), Alberto Lozano (keyboards). Some of the other
relevant musicians involved include longer standing and highly acclaimed names
such as Elías García (bouzouki), Fernando Arias
(ethnic percussions), Manolo Durán (traditional Asturian),
Vicente Baragaño (bass drum) and several members of Banda de
Gaites Mieres del Camín pipe band. Nacho Fonseca plays accoustic
guitars and keyboards on various tracks, as do Marco Rodríguez (Spanish
guitar and keyboards) and Hécotr Braga, who arranged six of the tracks
and proves his great value as a studio musician, playing bandurria
(Asturian rebec).
