Paris 2003
Floricelda and Candida Faez, better known as the Faez Sisters, are what every child dreams of for a granny with a particularly naughty sparkle in their eyes. They are also the Casa de la Trova show's main attraction. Well-accompanied by their bottle of rum and black tabacco cigarettes, they took time off to chat to us about the tradition of the Trova, with some help from Alejandro Almenarez and his skills in improvisation.
All extracts taken from their latest album 'La Serenata Picante' (Warner Jazz).
(in Spanish). Why the 'Serenata Picante' stings. Extract from 'Flor de Venganza'
(in Spanish). The history of the 'Casa de la Trova'. Extract from 'El Cajon del Muerto'
(in Spanish). Between Repentistas and Trovadores. An acoustic jam session.
