Anna Murtola: La Tierra Blanca live at Kangasalatalo, Finland 2024
"Nunca Una Sola" (Never just one)
The project "La Tierra Blanca" by the world's northernmost flamenco singer, Oulu-born Anna Murtola, is world-class flamenco music from northern Finland. La Tierra Blanca, released in early 2023, is Murtola's second solo album and a live show combining sound art, video art, Finnish poetry and flamenco music.
La Tierra Blanca is a union between Spanish flamenco music and the singer's own northern roots. Originally from northern Finland, Murtola's music draws its lyrics and themes from northern natural and mental landscapes, personal experiences and stories from the past. Partly also from Finnish folklore.
In the concert, sound artist Paavo Impiö's collages of natural sounds and synthetic soundscapes meet the sensitivity and disarming power of Murtola's flamenco voice. JP Manninen's video art, shimmering with northern light and shadow is combined with touching compositions and lyrics and the uncompromising musical expertise of an ensemble of top Finnish flamenco musicians.
