This playlist explores the rich array of early music from Latin America written between the 16th and 18th centuries. We start with two anonymous tracks, followed by a chronological survey. Discover music by composers who lived and worked in Brazil, Mexico, Peru, Bolivia and Argentina, some of whom were born there, whilst others made the journey across the Atlantic to the New World from Spain, Portugal and Italy.
