Spanish classicism and popular music: “Manuel de Falla and Federico García Lorca”
Spanish classicism and popular music A trip to the extremes of classical and popular music, focused mainly on Manuel de Falla’s “El Amor Brujo” and his vision of popular songs, and on Federico García Lorca’s folklorist side. There are also glimpses into the world of the jota and the copla, so rooted and extended throughout Spain. The musical formation could be a duet of voice and guitar or a small-orchestra (including strings and wind instruments) but always includes dance, which is inseparable from this music.

Natalia Brzewska – Violin. Arabel•la Fernández – Viola. Mariona […]
L’Aire: “Music and Dance related to Felip Pedrell”
Music and Dance related to Felip Pedrell Felip Pedrell dedicated his life to extolling and working with traditional popular music. L’aire is made up of more than 70 songs collected throughout Catalonia, Valencia and the Balearic Islands. After spending many years trapped in his books, they resume their voyage through flamenco, fusion, and both modern and classical music. The dance reflects bravery, hope, mystery, joy, madness and serenity. Popular music is like air, you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. Little can be known of it, it can only be felt. Air moves softly and freely between tradition and future. It encounters no difficulty in crossing borders, opening doors or in shaking us up. It […]
El poeta del viento: “Tribute to León Felipe”
Tribute to León Felipe Poems that are often described as revolutionary, critical and uncomfortable yet extremely beautiful. León Felipe’s verses will not leave you indifferent and Evoéh’s music seeks to strengthen his message. Classical and popular styles merge more than ever creating a small-orchestra (guitar, voice, string trio and oboe). This is Evoéh’s second album, composed entirely by Jesús Olivares, although a cover of Paco Ibáñez’s “Como tú” is also included. The album was nominated for best classical music album in the Independent Music Awards 2015 (MIN).
