Trío Guadalevín
About This Event
Trío Guadalevín is a journey as much as a musical destination. Named for the ancient gorge that slices through the Andalusian city of Ronda, the trio took shape in 2014 when three distinct musicians gathered to investigate musical connections between México and the Mediterranean. Employing a wealth of instruments and techniques the trio explores and often reimagines the musical dialogue between Indigenous, European and African cultures, which define Latin American identity.
The ensemble takes a fresh, innovative approach to music with deep roots: from the son huasteco and son jarocho of México, to Afro-Oaxacan music, Sephardic Jewish melodies, Spanish fandangos and xácaras, historic Arab-Andalusian song, Italian ciaccona and Moroccan shabia. Vocals in Spanish, Zapotec and Ladino intermingle with guitar, oud, theorbo, baroque guitar, vihuela, jarana, quinta huapanguera, harp, bendir, bombo, pandero cuadrado, pandereta, teponatzli, cajón and more.
