Programme

In this concert, without relinquishing the philological rigour of his performances, Jordi Savall highlights cultural dialogue through music, one of his specialities. On this occasion, he showcases a series of Christmas pieces from countries with African links, leaving aside their history of fire and bloodshed. Music provides a cultural link between countries such as Cuba, Haiti, the USA, Venezuela and Mali. The Caribbean, the Atlantic and the Mediterranean come together in harmony to create a fascinating dialogue in sound.
