Spanish Fairy Girl Russian Red China Tour 2011

Known by many as the Spanish Feist , in reference to the Canadian singer-songwriter who inspires her in many of her attitudes on the microphone, Hernández—who writes and sings all of her compositions n English—states hat she sings in that anguage instinctively because she has always istened to music in English. Her voice and performing style are also reminiscent of the childlike and simple, poetic approach utiized by California singer-songwriter Joanna Newsom.
Russian Red’s project began when Hernández met Brian Hunt, a musician with an English father and Spanish mother, with whom she recorded a demo (which included tracks that remain unpubished like “Reason”, “The Night of the Paper”, and “Sadie”) that reached more than 70,000 visits on her MySpace page by 2008.
The name Russian Red comes from the colour of a lipstick that Hernández herself usually wears. When asked how she chose the name, Hernández stated: “I had a band without a name some time ago. Since then, I was haunted by an obsession: to fi nd the ideal artistic name. One day, I fell in love with this colour that a girl was wearing. I pronounced its name, and now it is my pseudonym.”
Little by little, Hernandez has become well-known in the Spansh indie arena, performing more than 60 shows during 2007 and takng part in the prestigious Primavera Sound, among other festivals.
The Spanish producer Fernando Vacas asked Hernández to record an album to be issued by his label Eureka. The album, her fi rst, was called I Love Your Glasses and quickly became a success, eading El Pais columnist Alfonso Cardenal to deem Russian Red he “revelation of the year”.

● Angel Voices
Anúna have succeeded in dispelling any pre-conceived ideas about Irish music and choral music performance. An Anúna concert is a true “show”, a combination of movement, elegant cosume, candles and ethereal and haunting music sung in a unique way. This has gained the choir a justif ied reputation for the natural quality of the singers’ voices. Together with relaxed introductions by the director and other singers, Anúna’s style of presentation allows anyone of any musical persuasion to appreciate their performance despite the esoteric nature of their material. The group have a very diverse international audience, developed through seventeen years of touring and slip easily between Classical music the musicians that they have collaborated and worked with.
