Women are at the heart of this disc: warm-hearted South American mothers, women on the town, little girls hanging scared on their mothers’ coat-tails, blondes kissing fruitsellers in the Buenos Aires rain … The disc brings together two areas of repertoire which Mr McFall’s Chamber have often combined in performance – Valentina Montoya Martínez’s songs of life as a Chilean exile, and the music of the tango nuevo, including songs and instrumental interludes from Ástor Piazzolla’s ‘operita’ María de Buenos Aires, where the character of María represents the tango itself. ‘La Pasionaria’ was the nickname of Dolores Ibárruri, a Basque communist leader during the Spanish Civil War. Likewise both engaged and passionate, the songs brought together here – including Valentina’s deeply personal odes to her late mother and to the political activist Sola Sierra – pay tribute to the private and public lives of women across Spain and Latin America. 'passion, sensuality and musical intelligence... a dazzling performer with a world-class voice'' - Sunday Times, on Valentina Montoya Martinez 'Mr McFall's Chamber yet again find themselves triumphantly defining the innovative edge of the Scottish scene'' - The Scotsman, on the group's live concerts with Martinez, Victor Villena and Cyril Garac
