Latin-Baroque Fusion

The program draws from early Spanish and Portuguese music and connects it with contemporary Latin American popular and folk music. It presents the Latin American heritage and the region’s astonishing synthesis of African, Arabic, and European traditions in a unique fusion. Rumbarroco, an ensemble of acclaimed artists from different latitudes, led by Radcliffe-Harvard fellow and past Brandeis University resident-scholar Laury Gutiérrez, will combine music from past and present, including Renaissance and Baroque compositions and Latin American works, to create this vibrant Latin-Baroque musical fusion.

Music from the Trujillo Codex, Coimbra manuscript 50, Saldivar Codex, and others.

Ensemble:

Lina Sarmiento, soprano

Daniela Tosic, mezzosoprano

Fausto Miro, tenor

Danilo Bonina, violin

Eduardo Betancourt, Venezuelan harp & percussion

Miguel Morales, percussion

Katherine Shao, keyboards

Kirsten Lamb, bass

Laury Gutiérrez, viola da gamba & cuatro

Free general admission, but registration is required.

The mission of La Donna Musicale’s branch organization, RUMBARROCO is to recreate, preserve, and popularize the vital rhythms and harmonies of the past that traveled from the Iberian Peninsula to the Americas and vice versa. Rumbarroco’s Latin-Baroque Fusion ensemble uses period, folk, and contemporary popular instruments and performance practices. Rumbarroco explores the musical and cultural similarities and distinctions among Europeans, Africans, and Amerindians as experienced through Latin-American music in order to unite today’s diverse communities.
