Marina Heredia sings El Amor Brujo by Falla and the Canciones Españolas Antiguas compiled and harmonised by Federico García Lorca, orchestrated by José Trigueros, with the Orquesta Sinfónica de Castilla y León conducted by Thierry Fischer, at the Cartagena International Music Festival in Colombia. In addition to her appearances with the orchestra, the cantaora also offers a flamenco recital with her quintet.
