A singer-songwriter duo from Derby, England formed by Alexandra Bowen and Alastair Powers. Dulcinea create a gravity that draws the listener into a world where the real and the imagined are so close they can hear each other's heart beat. Poetic narrative and beautifully entwining melodies are laced with a bittersweet darkness, a romance both tragic and urbane. The music can best be described as a concoction of folk, rock and classical styles. It is arranged for piano, guitar and two voices, pulsing an ebb and flow as each of the two performers in turn takes the lead. Dulcinea are a singer-songwriter duo formed by Alexandra Bowen and Alastair Powers.
