From her search came the 300 hours of recordings that make up what is considered to be the bible of traditional oral lyric: the Galician Popular Songbook, the largest compilation of traditional music in Galicia, nowadays deposited in the Museo do Pobo Galego. Forty years later, two girls set out on a journey in the footsteps of Schubarth to find the voices she collected and discover their life stories.
