Last Friday we brought you a Basque choral feast, courtesy of VOCES8 - this week, we bring you a Catalan folk song, delightfully performed by the famed ensemble, The King's Singers: La Filadora (traditional, arranged by Goff Richards). 

The video is an exclusive advance performance taken from The King's Singers' forthcoming online concert, recorded at London's St Martin-in-the-Fields, to be broadcast on December 11 as part of the Live from London Christmas 2021 Festival. The Festival itself - a month-long series of choral music from many of the world's leading vocal groups - opens tomorrow. Click here for full details and tickets.

La Filadora also appears on the newly released album 'Christmas Carols with The King’s Singers', which you can enjoy below via Apple Music.
