“Aversion to women is worldwide and does not concern the Arabic culture alone. I think about the Christian front, about the so-called “family values” with a double standard; the deeply rooted idea of imposed virginity, the so-called honour killings, the cultural falsification, about physical and psychoogical violence.”

With this album the Spanish trio Sumrrà is paying a tribute to six women that are leaders of the feminist movement. There’s so much awareness in this record hanging in the balance between glee and tragedy, with all emotional strain oriented towards those who rose up and fought against history’s archetypes.
While listening to this album I thought I could seize all the dignity that distinguished the lives of these women in search of justice. There’s reverence, sadness, beauty and dignity enclosed in these awesome six tracks. I hope that listening to them will make you want to know more about the lives of these women who truly had prominent roles in our history.
