I am Black & Beautiful: Morenas in Iberoamerica

A program of songs and polyphonic settings that honor the Morenas (dark skinned, black women) in the Ibero-american and New World repertory beginning with settings of nigra sum sed formosa from the Psalms of Psalm to current folk representations in South America. Early vocal music from Spain, Mexico, and Peru, with endearing texts that depict black women, taken from the Iberian Cancioneros and connected to Latin-American genres

Our performance will also include African-influenced instrumental music from Portugal, Brazil, Mexico, and Spain in the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries linked to contemporary practices of traditional music.
