Americas shaped the modern world and profoundly transformed the history of music. With Un mar de músicas (A Sea of Music), Jordi Savall — a visionary of historically informed performance — weaves a dialogue between European Baroque traditions and the songs of enslaved peoples from 1440 to 1880. Surrounded by some thirty musicians, the maestro collaborates not only with his longtime ensembles, La Capella Reial de Catalunya and Hespèrion XXI, but also with artists from Canada, Guadeloupe, Guinea, Mali, Mexico, Colombia (including the Tembembe Ensamble Continuo), Brazil, Cuba, Haiti, and Venezuela. This new work follows in the continuity of The Routes of Slavery 1444–1888, the vast historical fresco given its North American premiere by Savall at the Maison symphonique de Montréal in 2017 as part of Traquen’Art’s Grands Événements series, retracing four centuries of the triangular trade through music and narrative. A leading figure of the viola da gamba and founder of several renowned early music ensembles, Jordi Savall revives forgotten musical traditions from across centuries and continents, bringing them to contemporary audiences through programs of striking artistic coherence.
