LATIN FOLK MUSIC

The music that sings to you when you are born, the music of your land, of your people, the music that grows up inside you. Those melodies that follow you anywhere you go. That's your own music. This is folk music.
The beauty of life in romance, in emotions, in rhythms which reflect an incredible nature with it's mountains, valleys, lakes and oceans. All in music. From one heart to another heart. This is Latin American music! To live, to enjoy, to relax and dream…

From "Yo Tengo Tantos Hermanos" by Atahualpa Yupanqui:

I have more brothers than I can count,
in the valleys, in the mountains,
in the pampa, and in the sea.
People with a warm hand of friendship,
with a tear with which to cry,
with a prayer to pray.

There are so many ways to interpret folk music. Paula's style is the most simple one because the simplicity of this music is the beauty of it. To transmit the feeling of folk music you just need honesty, beauty and love.
These songs contain immense poetry. The inspiration is mother nature and the lives of country people--their routines, working the land and weaving a tapestry of memories, giving birth to beautiful lyrics for an enchanted song.
