PETER BRODERICK
Singer/songwriter Peter Broderick
was born in 1987 in Portland, Oregon. He studied classical violin as
a child and now masters a variety of
instruments. Amidst his humble and
sumptuous arrangements, Broderick pulls you in with a specific gravity — something very, very sincere.
His collaborations include M. Ward,
Horse Feathers, Laura Gibson and the
British choreographer Adrienne Hart,
for whom he wrote a seven-section
work “Music for Falling From Trees.”
Currently a Copenhagen resident,
Broderick tours the world with Danish electro-folk collective Efterklang.
“A Snowflake,” from his 2008 solo
debut Float, produced by Broderick
himself, is a reposeful gem.

ANTONIO GONZÁLEZ)
Spain’s flamenco triple threat Lola
Flores, a.k.a. Maria Dolores Flores
Ruiz, was born in Cadiz in 1923. Her
early career included theater, film and
ultimately record-making. In the early
’40s, she had her first hit with “El Lerele.” Flores’ credits include nearly 40
films — by 1950, she reached a global
audience with her role in Captain
Blackjack. Among her collaborations
are Manolo Caracol, Pepe Marchena,
and her husband, guitarist Antonio
González. The Andalusian diva passed
away in Madrid in 1995. Remember
her with “Que Me Coma el Tigre,” from
Lola Flores & Antonio González’s La
Colección 5: Lola y Antonio.
