Acuarela Songs

"Acuarela Songs" is a joint venture between hinah and the Spanish label Acuarela Discos, which releases this double compilation. The idea is for the word "acuarela" (or its English and French equivalents, "watercolor / watercolour" and "aquarelle") to be included somewhere in the title, the spirit or the lyrics of the songs. Kind of like a homage, explicitly or implicitly to Acuarela Discos, which has been going on for 7 years now.

It features -mostly- previously unreleased and exclusive tracks by the following artists:
