This fabulous duo – Piruchi Apo Botupa and Paloma Loribo Apo – are aunt and niece respectively. Well established on the Spanish music scene, with several albums under their belt, Hijas del Sol (‘Daughters of the Sun’) are originally from Bioko, an island off Equatorial Guinea. Members of the Bantu tribe, they sing in the Bubi language and have been compared with Zap Mama. Profoundly aware of their people’s traditional music, Hijas del Sol’s compositions are much more than folklore, they look at contemporary problems and propose an anti-racist, rights-for-all message.
