Info
The Atlantic is a space where different influences meet: the great crime of the triangular slave trade between Europe, Africa and the Americas has shaped the world as we know it. And it has also changed the history of music. Here Jordi Savall, the great visionary of historical performance practice and connoisseur of world musical cultures, is joined by his groundbreaking ensemble Hespèrion XXI together with musicians from Africa and the Americas to devise a dialogue in sound between the reciprocal influences of the European Baroque and the songs of slaves between 1440 and 1880.
