About the session: Lomax’s visit to Segovia seems to have been the result of his having seen or heard about a folkloric ensemble which was put together in Zarzuela del Monte and Vegas del Monte, as an offshoot of the Sección Femenina de la Falange Española's (the Women's Branch of the Spanish Phalanx) "Coros y Danzas" (Choirs and Dances) groups.
