LilFest Presents The Malvinas in Mount Vernon, Iowa

With roots all over North America The Malvinas are a feminist folk trio with a seriously original sound created by three of the most temperamental, romantic, down-to-earth, tolerant, funky, maternal, independent, impassioned, politically opinionated, completely-unlike-one-another, singer-songwriter-instrumentalists youve ever had the good fortune to know. They are Lisa Markley, Gina Forsyth and Beth Cahill on guitar, mandolin, fiddle, banjo, killer harmonies, and a veritable smorgasbord of contemporary and traditional compositions that will have you coming back for more.

"There is a distinct strength in womens music and they tap into it brilliantly. Women with wide ranging influencesthe Malvinas are serious and playful, often in the same songThe title cut was written by the trios namesake, Malvina Reynolds, in 1964. It is as poignant today as it was then with these lyrics: God bless the truth that fights toward the sun. One of the most fully realized folk albums of the first half of the year."
