about

La niebla vital, Wiraqochan.

This first recording of Cecilia Vicuña with Ricardo Gallo was done in 2017 and features the performance of selected poems from Cecilia’s book “La Wik’uña”, published in 1990. The poems chosen for this recording deal with the wealth of knowledge from ancient Andean cultures relating it to the environmental crisis today.

Cecilia’s unique voice, charged with echoes of indigenous chants and contemporary wit, dialogues with Ricardo’s distinct piano touch sometimes sounding like another instrument. This intimate duo continues to be a fruitful vehicle for a sonic-poetic expression that is as potent as it is ephemeral.

………………………………………….

“Ricardo hears an ancient sound in my poems, and I hear crystals, mountains and waterfalls in his piano. Hearing each other we improvise and create new sounds, thus a new kind of Andean music is born, archaic and futuristic at once.” Cecilia Vicuña

La niebla vital, Wiraqochan.

La primera grabación de Cecilia Vicuña y Ricardo Gallo fue realizada en 2017 y contiene la interpretación de algunos poemas seleccionados del libro “La Wik’uña” de Cecilia, publicado en 1990. Los poemas escogidos para esta grabación tratan sobre la riqueza del conocimiento ancestral Andino, relacionándolo con la crisis ambiental actual.

La voz sin igual de Cecilia, que alude a cantos indígenas con una sagacidad contemporánea, dialoga con el distinguido sonido en el piano de Ricardo Gallo, que en ocasiones suena como otro instrumento. Este duo continúa siendo un vehículo fructífero para expresiones poético- sonoras tan potentes como efímeras.

……………………………………

“Ricardo escucha un sonido milenario en mis poemas, y yo escucho cristales, montañas y cascadas en su piano. Escuchándonos improvisamos y creamos nuevos sonidos, de esta manera nace una nueva música Andina, arcaica y futurista a la vez.
