Misa Criolla Strozzi Female Choir

Sunday 10 March – 4 p.m. – Bleijenburg 3B (Deutsche Evangelische Gemeinde) Ariel Ramírez’ Misa Criolla is one Latin America’s musical treasures. An ode to the
musical heritage of mestizaje, it combines the traditional form of the Catholic mass
with the rhythmic and melodic melting pot of Amerindian and European traditions that
all came together in the former Spanish Empire.

“The Misa Criolla is a celebration of mass ” says Mariela Añazco, the Ecuadorian conductor and founder of the Strozzi Female Choir, “with the emphasis on celebration. It’s an expression of the soul of mestizaje. The combination of the pulsating drums like the bombo Argentino and the strumming of the charango breath life into the baroque structures of the
mass.”

The Strozzi Female Choir will be accompanied by four talented musicians:

• Jonatan Alvarado – soloist & guitar
• Gabriel Aguilera – charango
• Carlos Renato Freyggang – percussion
• Sebastiano Evangelista – piano

After the concert coffee and Latin-American delicacies will be served.
