El Fuego

Desire, passion and sin burns in this celebration. Also does the hearts of the lovers and the flames of the spirit. The Virgin is tempted by the young man, but also gives birth to the divine redemption. The art of the Spanish sixteenth century is full of the contrast between fiery and devotion. It shows a world dwelled by demons, saints and people that lived the same feelings as we live today. Music and Literature in the courtly environment of the Iberian Renaissance will be our gateway to this world. Through the music of some of the most excellent spanish songbooks preserved throughout history, Cantoría approaches to the souls of women and men who experienced vividly the fire of love, solitude, joy and sin.
