Annotation

Through dance and song, one can celebrate the moon or the stars, express every emotion, merge with nature, turn to God... Especially on the Iberian Peninsula and in Central and South America in the 16th and 17th centuries, where we will go with Windu, an energetic quartet of players of various wind instruments.

 

In their first ever performance in Prague, this original ensemble will present all members of the recorder family. They will perform a variety of typical rhythms, motifs and smaller musical forms such as the tonada, folía, jácara, canario or romanesca, as well as excerpts from the famous Spanish manuscripts – Canconieros. The outstanding percussionist Daniel Garay will ensure the proper tempo of the concert.
