Item Description
Sol y Canto is the nationally-touring and Boston Music Award winning Pan-Latin ensemble led by Puerto Rican/Argentine singer and bongo player Rosi Amador and New Mexican guitarist and composer Brian Amador. Featuring Rosi's crystalline voice, Brian's lush Spanish guitar, and virtuoso musicians from Latin America and the U.S. on winds, bass, and percussion, the group has established a reputation for their quirky original compositions that address matters of the heart, social and global aspiration, and for their unique and driving interpretations of contemporary Latin music.
The winning bidder will receive the latest Sol y Canto project, "Sabor y Memoria: a Musical Feast in Seven Courses". Composed by musical director Brian Amador for the Sol y Canto Sextet plus a string quartet, Sabor y Memoria is a seven-song suite all about food, in rhythms from Cuba, Venezuela, Mexico, Argentina, Peru, Panama and Puerto Rico. From appetizer to dessert, it's a Latino musico-culinary, multi-sensory mix of music, images and flavors, where each movement is a "dish" in an imaginary meal.
Also included is their 2008 release, "Cado Dia Un Regalo" ("Each Day a Gift").The album combines original compositions about social justice and love—including a precious lullaby written for the Amadors’ twin daughters—with a couple of hand-selected classics from Latin America and Cuba. The overall effect is inspirational, as if Eckhart Tolle—the Oprah-endorsed self-help philosopher who advocates living in the moment—joined Nueva Canción, the 1960s and ’70s pan-Latin movement that united poetry, music-making, and grassroots social consciousness.
