La Donna Musicale and Rumbarroco perform a program of songs and polyphonic settings that honor the "Morenas" (dark-skinned Black women) in the Ibero-American repertory, beginning with settings of "Nigra sum sed formosa" from the "Song of Songs", all the way to current folk representations in South America.
The concert will include early vocal music from the Iberian Renaissance and Baroque "Cancioneros" with poetic texts that depict Black women in endearing terms.
Our performance will also include African-influenced instrumental music from Mexico, Peru, Venezuela, and Spain linked to today’s practices of traditional music. Composers will include Manuel Machado, Francisco de Peñalosa, Diego Ortiz, Juan Vásquez, and Anonymous.
