The Pavlova Songs is a work of Mexican composer Venus King Jr., which it was born from the collaboration with Russian artists perform and Natalia Pavlova Vera. In September 2016, Natalia sang a program of Venus Rey Jr. in venice, the Mexican Bachianas 1, 2 and 3. Natalia mentioned that her mother, Vera Pavlova, she was a very famous poet in Russia, who has written more than 20 volumes of poetry and has been translated into more than 18 Languages.

Then came the idea of ​​using texts from Vera in a new composition, for which the author suggested some erotic texts: “One tap in seven octaves”. In them, the woman expresses and sings her desire to the man she loves. The caress is the reason for the universe of analogies that is born in these verses.

Composer Venus Rey Jr. premiered this work at the Moscow House of Music in February 2018, with the interpretation of Natalia Pavlova herself, and later directed the premiere in Mexico, which took place at the National Conservatory of Music.

The melody of Russian poetry, that preceded the entire composition, whose motive was directed to the passions and the complex of sensuality, created an atmosphere that only a Mexican composer could have achieved by starting from his deep inspiration before a literary tradition as deep as that of Vera Pavlova, descendant of the great Russian writer Alexander Pushkin.

The president of the Tchaikovsky Foundation, María Nepomniaschaya Soboleva, has supported the cultural exchange between Russia and Mexico, in a very special way, in the musical field. That night she also served as a speaker, in reciting each poem by Pavlova, both in Russian and Spanish, within the structure of the work.
