Luis Carlos Figueroa, born in 1923, is one of the senior figures in Colombian music, much esteemed as composer, pianist and teacher. His works marry spontaneous lyrical charm — perhaps with a French twist from his student days in Paris — with vibrant South American folk influences, thus siting him downstream from Canteloube and Villa-Lobos. His 1986 Piano Concerto, for example, combines rhythms from the Caribbean and the Valle del Cauca around his hometown of Medellin with classical forms and structures, creating a work full of passion and energy. The String Quartet is a first recording; the other works have not been released outside Colombia before. https://d2vhizysjb6bpn.cloudfront.net/TOCC0165-cd-notes.pdf

https://open.spotify.com/intl-es/album/3Ug7izHL9wLheJLfOv9SVl Svetlana recorded this single with pianist and piano arrangement Wilson Casallas, violinist Renata Artman Knifik, and bassist and string arrangement Tom Knific. Artwork: Izabella Wells. If Nothing Has Changed, is inspired by her strong desire to encourage, uplift, and support those going through challenging times, feeling discouraged, or struggling in their daily lives. This song is about choosing to see the light during difficult times in our lives. As Dr. Martin Luther King said, “Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that." Even though our circumstances may not change, we always have the ability to change our mindset and our perspective and share that light with those who may need it. “Instead, let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes.” Ephesians 4:23 NLT

‘Toccata are always up for the challenge of the unfamiliar. Are you? This is attractive music that is well worth your ear-time.’
