Black Villancicos and Other Joyful Songs Saturday, December 12 at 7PM

Rumbarroco is proud to present a lecture/concert that delves into Africa’s lasting musical legacy in Ibero-American music.

'Black Villancicos' focuses on this emotionally charged and rhythmically powerful repertoire.

We’ll explore the intersection of early European music with the unspoken African traditions, and current Latin American sounds as well as the fusion of “learned” music with folk and popular forms.

Music by Gaspar Fernandes (1566 – 1629), Villancicos from the Liturgy of Santa Cruz De Coimbra, 17th century, Aguinaldo Margariteño from Venezuela, and Afro-Baroque instrumental music by Santiago de Murcia (1673 – 1739), and Anonymous.

Mexican-born Professor Octavio Paez will join us from Geneva, Switzerland.

He will give context to our performance, beginning with an explanation of Villancicos, and Villancicos Negros in general.
