"This album is dedicated to María Antonia Vallejo Fernández (1751-1787), known as La Caramba, a famous Spanish actress/singer. Her stage name probably comes from her exclamation ""Caramba, Caramba!"" from a tonadilla, a short satirical musical comedy popular in 18th-century Spain. Caramba was also the name of María Antonia's flamboyant hairstyle, which became a symbol of women's fashion at the time. Máría Hinjosa embodies the role of María Antonia, her music brings Forma Antiqva to joyful life. There is probably no comparable ensemble like Forma Antiqva, which has dedicated itself to the incomprehensibly little-known Spanish baroque music and has made rousing compositions known worldwide. Aarón Zapico directs Forma Antiqva with verve, and each of his recorded works becomes a magnificent musical discovery."
