Abraham Cupeiro: Pangea

Pangea explores the ancestral sounds of the world’s cultures. Abraham Cupeiro will be performing his own music, dedicated to different parts and cultures of our planet. It features the surprising sounds of rarely heard traditional instruments such as the Hopi flute from Native America, the Chinese hulusi flute and the Celtic carnyx.

Programme

To celebrate the end is also to celebrate the beginning.  Although our idea of progress, evolutionary and linear, seems far removed from the circular view of life held by primitive civilisations, that way of thinking is still important, with many anthropologists considering it to be a structural part of the human psyche.

The BMB has invited Abraham Cupeiro to its New Year’s Eve concert. The multi-instrumentalist, who recently participated in the soundtrack of the film Gladiator II playing his ancient instruments, will present his project Pangea, recorded at Abbey Road studios with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. With this project he will make us explore ancestral sounds through the melodies of Chinese flutes or Celtic trumpets.
