Cançó de Dona i Home is the second, long awaited album of this band that has become one of the main protagonists of the new spanish folkscene over the last 3 years. Mediterranean music, oriental music and antique music, instruments of different epochs and cultures of mankind achieve new significance in the production of this exceptional band from Valencia. The magic voice of Mara Aranda and the outstanding creativity of Efrén López are once again creating a sound universe made of all characteristic sources they part from: their valencian roots but also the different influences from the different Mediterranean traditions.
For their second album L´Ham de Foc continued their search for a sound that is at the same time new and fresh but on the other side closely linked to traditions. For Cançó de Dona i Home they extended their investigations about the regions influenced by the greek, roman, arabic and christian culture. On a trip to Greece they discovered their relationship with the greek music and were deeply inspired to write new songs. And, of course, they found new instruments for the impressing collection of Efrén López.
For their new album L´Ham de Foc once again managed to join together the most creative musicians of the valencian folkscene and made Cançó de Dona i Home an album that is about to become a new milestone in Spanish folk music.
