David, a talented guitarist and sound engineer, quickly became honorary Chilean as he is Latin American in his playing! They are accompanied by Scottish bassist May Halyburton and Argentine percussionist Gerardo Ballesteros. They keep alive and promote folk music traditions from the Americas.

"The Latin voices of Central and South America, sing songs of exile, love, social defiance and freedom, and a stunning voice that prickles the hairs. Voces Del Sur were wonderful; a small, unpretentious acoustic four-piece group playing various, sometimes politically-charged songs, of "freedom and having your wings clipped".

Chilean vocalist Valentina Montoya Martinez was incredible, decked in red poncho and strumming along like some sylvan beauty. Powerful and at times lilting and muted, she graced the set with verse that captured an essence both of a Latin American demographic and an essential personal spirit, reflecting her own experience as an exile and wanderer. Try sitting underneath a massive extractor fan on a miserable day to aid spinal chills"
