Josephine Foster and the Victor Herrero Band 'Anda Jaleo' Vinyl LP
Fire Records
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 García 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.
“Foster’s vocals, met by husband Herrero’s frantic and raw gypsy-band orchestration, demonstrates the sense of urgency in the music’s 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.
