Biography
Josephine Foster is not only is a captivating songwriter and performer (a former opera singer!), but she is daring and amazingly versatile and irregular in her subject and form. She has covered Emily Dickinson (Graphic As A Star), sung German art-house songs (A Wolf In Sheeps Clothing) and released an album with The Cherry Blossoms among other projects.
This collaboration with The Victor Herrero Band is another concept she handles with grace and charm and wit but it is still retains that vitality, density and romance that a true poet bestows upon their work. Taking their cue from Federico Garcia Lorca’s popular folk song anthology Las Canciones Populares Espanolas, Foster and her partner Spanish musician Victor Herrero have arranged the poetically rich collection for an acoustic band, formed while living in the Grenadine Sierra. Released on Fire Records last year, Anda Jaleo is the band’s flawless live recording of Las Canciones…: a visceral celebration of the persistence of popular anonymous song.
