Their album ANCESTRAS features collaborations with Susana Baca, Angelique Kidjo, Aymée Nuviola, Nidia Gongora, among other remarkable women. ANCESTRAS constitutes their latest recordings at the peak of the vocalist´s powers as composer, vocalist, and group leader. Petrona Martinez Villa has composed hundreds of songs while leaving her cultural marks: one Grammy award and three nominations among countless accolades; and the prominence of the historically marginalized bullerengue music as a canonical genre of Colombian national identity and the Maroon Heritage.
