De ida y vuelta / Away and Back
A Dialogue of Flamenco and Baroque Music of the Colonial Era
Fahmi Alqhai Viol & Artist Director
Arcángel Flamenco voice
Miguel Ángel Flamenco guitar
Cortés Raúl „El Fiera“ Cajón and Palmas
Accademia del Piacere, Sevilla
Both classically trained musicians, and both recognized as extraordinary masters of their art, the gambist Fahmi Alqhai and the flamenco singer Arcángel display their eagerness to experiment and musical intuition in this particular program. Taking the idea of reliving the common past and present of flamenco and baroque music, the two forms seek inspiration from one another as they come together musically. Village and city, folk music and high art are presented here in a living dialogue, revealing how musical life was influenced by musical innovations hundreds of years ago.
The Spanish colonization of America and the meeting of European, American, and African civilizations was the soil for new musical developments, and for the evolution and birth of new styles. The exchange of rhythms, melodies and cadences, which later found their way into American jazz, were already to be found hundreds of years earlier in the birth of flamenco.
In Andalusia and South American cities, song and dance elements were mixed and joined together, traveling from the Gulf of Guinea in the Caribbean over to Seville and up to the Gulf of Cadiz and back. A true, non-locatable melting pot emerged, in which Jácaras, Canarios and Chaconnes merged, serving as the common ground for both folk music and classical music: Guarachas by Céspedes, which remind one of Tanguillos from Cadiz, Marionas, which bear the flavor of Alegrías, as well as age old and modern Fandangos and Siguiriyas based on the chords of a passacaglia.
This is the music that was written down hundreds of years ago, offering both musicians the chance to relive it in spontaneous intuition. One can already taste the aromas of lost worlds…
