• Folk singer Anabel Santiago was born in Buenos Aires in 1981, but from an early age grew up in the Asturias region of Northern Spain, learning ‘la tonada’ - the traditional Asturian vocal music, which she has translated to the 21st century, with elements of contemporary folk, pop & rock - on ‘Desnuda’ she includes surprising cover versions of La Chicana and Johnny Cash.

• If Janis Joplin were Asturiana, she would probably sound like this, and Anabel has become a highly respected performer in the tradition of other stars from that area : La Busdonga, Diamantina Rodriguez, El Maragatu & Juanín de Mieres.

• She is backed by a fine 6-piece band, led by guitarist & album-producer, Michael Lee Wolfe - with accordion, piano, double bass, drums & percussion - plus other guest musicians.

• She has recorded a number of albums before, including the widely-praised "Anabel Santiago canta a Diamantina Rodriguez”. In her style one can also hear subtle influences of Lucinda Williams, Misia, Maria del Mar Bonet, Lorrena McKennit, Lila Downs, Mercedes Sosa, Carmen Paris and Mercedes Peón.

Songlines - Chris Moss

The 13 songs on this beautiful, moving album are delicately balanced between earthy vocals and folk lyrics, and savvy arrangements that present what remains an exotic form to a new market. ****
