Jordi Savall, ‘El
nuevo mundo. Folías criollas.’
Like the Chacona, described as an “American mulatto” by
Miguel de Cervantes (La Ilustre Fregona), the great majority of musical forms
which evolved after the “discovery” and the conquest of the New World retain
that extraordinary mixture of Hispanic and Creole elements influenced by
indigenous and African traditions. A new selection of “Sones y Folías Criollas”
for singing and dancing has been recorded in conjunction with Montserrat
Figueras and the instrumentalists and vocalists of La Capella Reial de
Catalunya and Hespèrion XXI, as well as a number of guest musicians from
Argentina, Venezuela, Colombia and Mexico, including Tembembe Ensamble
Continuo.
