Trío Guadalevín explores the musical dialogue between Indigenous, European and African cultures which define Latin American identity. The ensemble – formed by percussionist Antonio Gómez, singer and multi-instrumentalist Abel Rocha and August Denhard performing on lute, theorbo, baroque guitar, oud and vihuela – takes a fresh, innovative approach to music with deep roots: from the son huasteco and son jarocho of Mexico, to Afro-Oaxacan music, Sephardic Jewish melodies, Spanish fandangos and xácaras, Arab-Andalusian song and Italian ciaccona and tarantella. With memorable stories and an incredible array of instruments from the Americas, Africa and Europe, the trio weaves together a tapestry of music, languages, culture, history and geography. It’s Mexico meets the Mediterranean, an acoustic journey tracing global roots and branches.
