About Ex Cathedra 2024/25: Latin American Baroque - Ritual 1631

Age Under 16s must be accompanied by an adult 18+

Running time Apr 2 hours inc interval

Jeffrey Skidmore and Ex Cathedra have pioneered the rediscovery of the vibrant sounds of South American Baroque music – a fusion of sounds from Europe, Africa and South America.

The iconic Inca liturgy ‘Hanac pachap cussicuinin’ – the oldest printed polyphony in the Americas – punctuates a grand tour that takes us from Mexico to the Amazonian jungle, and the lavish churches of Brazil to Bolivia.

Join the singers, harp, lute, violins and bajón, and revel in this colourful music sung in Latin, Spanish, Nahuatl and Quechuan – the languages of the Aztecs and Incas.

“a heady mix of gloriously rich polyphony and manic, earthy villancicos. Skidmore has mined a rich vein of hitherto undiscovered music … exhilaratingly uninhibited” BBC Music Magazine

Ex Cathedra is a B:Music Associate Artist.

This film of Juan de Araujo’s ‘Los coflades’ was made as part of an online concert given by Ex Cathedra in February 2021. Hear this magnificent work performed live this March.
