Atma Classique3.5
Canciones de mi abuelito
Antonio Figueroa, tenor; La Familia Figueroa
Atma Classique, April 2023
On his new album, Montreal tenor Antonio Figueroa, accompanied by the Familia Figueroa, invites us to share the musical moments that shaped his childhood and inspired his career.
This collection is a “family story,” as the author describes it. Above all, it is a tribute to his grandfather and his career as a mariachi musician of recognized lyrical talent, with which he charmed the Quebec public shortly after he and his family moved to Montreal in the mid-1970s. The grandson thus regales us with some jewels of the mariachi repertoire, the emblematic musical style of traditional Mexican music, with its sunny harmonies and typical dialogue between trumpets, voices and strings. This style has been listed as a World Heritage Site since 2011.
