There's none of the levelling, obscuring instrumental mush that has sometimes afflicted major northern Iberian roots-enhancement projects. Every track is an alert, intelligent arrangement in which the vocals and catchy melodies are in charge, and the pandeiretas are not produced away but have their natural role. What remains in the memory has the true melodious essence and spirit of the Galician song tradition, whose ongoing life this album and the work of today's new pandeireteras does much to assure... - Andrew Cronshaw, fRoots (Read the complete review) "Characterized by breezy arrangements, wonderful vocal harmonies that, while not traditional in their culture, sound like they were made for it. Overall, there is a welcome sense of sweetness. Faltriqueira bring to mind other musical groups from other places (Värttinä, I Muvrini, The Corrs and Galinverna), but hold their musical ground well. In the end they are like nothing but themselves." - Nondas Kitsos, RootsWorld Read the complete review) |

Please note!
Most CDs have been
imported from Europe or Asia.
They are not all
shrink-wrapped, and I am not
going to con you by wrapping them
here just to make you think they
have been sterilized in America.
We guarantee that the CDs and the
contents are all brand new and in
perfect condition. Whenever I
can, I use recycled shipping
materials. They may not look as
pretty on the outside, but they save
money and keep the trash dumps a
little bit emptier.
