Echoes of a lost dreama voyage across oneiric sentiments on the viol

Forgetting oneself in the deepest dreams: from the intense lethargy that precedes the oneiric world, to the marvelous fantasies that blur into reality, only to be hidden forever in oblivion.

The phases of human dreams are anything but monotonous stories — yet only rarely do their traces remain with us.

Love against (divine) tempestsan audacious reading of the early eighteenth century

…But no Man moved Me — till the Tide
Went past my simple Shoe —
And past my Apron — and my Belt
And past my Boddice — too —

Auroras Mestizas doesn't limit itself by isolating or juxtaposing musical worlds — instead, it looks for the common spaces they share. Figures like José de Orejón y Aparicio and Manuel de Zumaya dialogue naturally with Scarlatti, Porpora and Nebra, offering an audacious and innovative reading of early music.

América Popularat the origins of the tradition

Far from the courts, beyond the cathedral walls — the music of inhabitants whose origins are diverse, but who would live and shape their lives in the new world.

América Popular shows the origins of the diversity and the colours of Latin-American popular music — heir to Western early music, to African rhythms, and to the native musics of the continent. A repertoire with an identity proper and proud, of the American peoples.
