A Stroll along the Mediterranean Culture

Accompanied by one of his most faithful squires in decades, the always refined percussionist Pedro Estevan, Jordi Savall returns to one of the repertoires that has spread his prestige as an explorer of ancestral music throughout the world, in this case those of the ancient Christian, Jewish and Muslim Hispania, which he will mix with those of medieval Italy and France, Morocco, Israel, Afghanistan, Armenia and the former Ottoman Empire. The great Catalan viola da gamba player and conductor embarks here on a fascinating journey through the Mediterranean countries accompanied by ancient bow instruments, a stroll along diverse cultures and lands throughout several centuries that in the words of Amin Maalouf can be understood as a real «dialogue of the souls».
