Brattleboro Camerata presents “Ensalada: Music of the Renaissance in Latin America”

The Brattleboro Camerata presents “Ensalada: Music of the Renaissance in Latin America” at 4pm on Sunday December 11 at the Brattleboro Music Center.

The program is an exploration of Renaissance-era music in Latin America, including pieces by colonial composers who worked in modern-day Mexico, Guatemala, and Peru, and pieces in Latin, Spanish, and the Indigenous languages Quechua (associated with Inca culture) and Nahuatl (associated with Aztec culture).

“Ensalada” literally means “salad,” but in a musical context, it refers to a tradition of pieces that mix different languages and dialects. Not only does the program contain a proper ensalada, but the program as a whole was designed in this spirit – a mixture of colonial and Indigenous elements, and an investigation of the colonialist forces that created that mixture.
