Washington Post, Holiday CD Picks >>
These are the real holiday oldies, dating to the 16th and 17th centuries. The ensemble, which specializes in musical reconstruction and anthropology, has collected indigenous and European period instruments to re-create some of the first Christmas music written in the Americas. Music and languages of the Aztec, Maya and Inca, and newly converted African slaves, melded with the traditions of Catholic missionaries and Spanish conquerors to create some of the earliest multicultural expression. This beautiful music deserves a place in the larger medieval and Renaissance repertoire.
