Rodrigo Romaní Trío – Fios de ouro no ár (Altafonte, 2018)
Spanish musician Rodrigo Romaní is one of the leading harp players in Galicia. He’s one of the pioneers of contemporary Galician folk music, who co-founded the seminal band Milladoiro. On this occasion, he appears with a trio that includes fellow harp player Beatriz Martinez and Xulia Feixoo on percussion.
The album Fios de ouro no ár (Golden strings in the air) features original pieces and traditional songs as well. It’s a superb melodic album where folk harp meets classical music and contemporary acoustic music.
The exquisite chamber string quartet Cuarteto Novecento appears on two of the musical pieces.
Although the majority of the album is instrumental, two guest vocalists appear on two tracks: Inés Lorenzo and Guillerme Ignacio Costa.
Fios de ouro no ár is beautifully-constructed recording by one of leading composers in the Galician folk music scene.
