Lily Dahab - Huellas (Herzog Records 2013)


Tango and folklore, delicate poetic songcraft and full-on Argentinean rock – these are the widely diverging musical poles between which the many-faceted sound of Argentina unfolds. All of these sounds have left their traces in Lily Dahab’s colourful resume. On her new album Huellas, the Berlin-based vocal nomad, accompanied by her four-piece backing band, finds her way back to her homeland, uncovering her own personal and moving history of Argentina – all delivered with an exceptional voice that the Badische Zeitung newspaper described as “radiant honey”.
