CARANZALEM
Elena Escartín (recorder, voice)
Pilar Almalé (viola da gamba, voice)
Caranzalem invites us to dream by traveling, to dream of that time when the hours of the day were counted like in the verses of the Sephardic lullaby, A la una yo nací:
At one o’clock I was born, at two I grew up,
at three I had a lover, and at four I was married.
…To dream of the time when Andalusian music filled our gardens in the Alcázar of Seville. To dream of sailing through the sea that took us to Peru and through that other green sea that took us from Brazil to Caranzalem in Goa, India. In a caravan we travelled America from north to south, from south to north, singing a tango of freedom. Travelling…not only to discover new places, but to discover ourselves, to look with different eyes, to feel with a different heart, to laugh with joy, and to fall in love…
