Flamenco, Brazilian song, Portuguese Fado and rock are some of the sources of inspiration of Sílvia Pérez Cruz, an artist difficult to pigeonhole in just one single musical genre. An example of this eclecticism is her latest album, on which we can hear Leonard Chen’s Hallelujah, Lambada (Chorando se foi), and Gallo negro, gallo rojo by Chicho Sánchez Ferlosio. A new collection entitled Vestida de Nit, the title of a havanera composed by her father, Castor Pérez.

Sílvia Pérez Cruz (Palafrugell, 1983) had already been part of about 30 projects when she released her album 11 de novembre (2012), her father’s date of birth, who died while composing it. The album catapulted her to success with critics and audiences alike, consolidated with granada (2014), released jointly with Raül Fernández Miró. Last year she composed Domus for Eduard Cortés’ musical film Cerca de tu casa, which won her a Gaudí Prize. 

On her latest disc, Vestida de nit (2017), she once again sings versions of songs that we have heard her perform before. This time, though, she is accompanied by a string quartet featuring Miquel Àngel Cordero (double bass), Joan Antoni Pich (cello), Elena Rey (violin), Anna Aldomà (viola) and Carlos Montfort (violin).
