Imagen de tu huella brings together an intimate and essential repertoire that is the result of Carmen Linares’ passion for theatre and poetry, which she has performed in the course of the her forty-year solo career, becoming the main singer/songwriter of Spain’s most universal poets: Federico García Lorca, Juan Ramón Jiménez, Miguel Hernández and Rafael Alberti. Imagen de tu huella is a concert with the voice of a woman who scratches and caresses at the same time.
