Details:
For itâs richness and variety, as well as for itâs popularity and
enormous radiance far beyond Spain, spanish folk music
certainly has an outstanding reputation. As in the songs of
the sephardic Jews, cultural exchange and interaction have
played an important part in the development and growth
of this music. In particular the songs that the poet
Federico G. Lorca adapted for his release âTrece canciones
españolas antiguasâ can be considered extremely popular.
Due to the Diaspora, the songs of the sephardic Jews
reached the most diverse regions and places and have never
stopped developing and changing ...
Cantarela wants to rediscover these sounds. With
discretion and bravery , they take the melodies-some from
as far back as the 15th century- and embed them in their
own musical spheres.
