The fall is moving towards the winter and a bit of 'heat' is needed! Today's FREE song is by Hijas del Sol "The Daughters of the Sun":
They first performed together in 1992 for a competition in el Centro Cultural Hispano Guineano, where they won prizes for best original song and best choreography. That year they also performed for the first time in Spain at both the Expo de Sevilla and in the Festival de la OTI. In December of 1995, they presented their first recording - Sibèba. This recording was composed as much of traditional music as of new songs that speak of the problems of the life, sung in their native tongue, Bubi. The CD also included a theme relating the anxieties of the emigrants to Madrid. This song was utilized in the soundtrack of the movie "Taxi", by Carlos Saura.
The understanding among the two singers Piruchi Apo Botupa, her niece Paloma Loribo Apo, and the musical producer Alberto Gambino, is very solid, which reflects itself in the final result where, in spite of the evident variety of styles, arrangements and tongues, not a single crack is seen. A funky mixture of jazz, afropop and happy Latin tunes is what you are about to hear.
