Cantaor/singer: Vicente Soto

Guitarras: Enrique de Melchor and Tomatito

Fernando Pessoa (Portugal 1888-1947) wrote: "The cuadra (Portuguese popular song form) is a vase of flowers in the window of the soul of the Portuguese people." This most admired Portuguese poet worked for a long time compiling popular songs like the poet Manuel Machado did in Spain. Vicente Soto sings nine of these Pessoa poems, assisted by his brother, the composer and guitarist José Soto, one of the founding members of the group "Ketama".
