"Saltando y bailando": a recording
Donation protected
Hello!
My name is Jonatan Alvarado. I'm an Argentinian singer and player, specializing in early music.
After years of specializing in bringing to life the music of the XVI and XVII centuries, I decided to return to my very first experiences as a musician: playing guitar and singing with my friends. It has become my goal to unify both universes – the historic and the personal - in the field of baroque song, by becoming a self-accompanied singer, a practice that is not common in classical music today but was almost the rule in the past.
In fact, self-accompanied singing is transversal to many different periods, styles and cultures – from the court of the Tudors to the Versailles of Louis XIV. Reviving this practice from a historically informed perspective is as natural as it is necessary.
Since a few years now I have been focusing on songs in the Spanish language, not only those from Spanish origin but also those found in foreign sources spread all over the world.
After gathering so many little jewels scattered all over the world and having the opportunity to share it with audiences all over Europe, I decided to make a recording to share my favorite songs to an even bigger audience. This recording would be based mainly on two sources filled with beautiful songs: the Latin-American Codex Zuola - copied in Cuzco, Perú in the 17th Century - and the third book of courtly songs by Etienne Moulinié - published in Paris in 1629, while serving the Gaston Duke d'Orleans.
To make this project possible I need to gather resources and support, as the recording, the editing and the distribution of a cd involves all kinds of costs. I’m counting on you and in exchange you will not only have my deepest gratitude, but also get the chance to pick your reward from the list bellow.
With this crowdfunding you can easily collaborate from any country in the world and with any mode of payment
Thank you in advance for being a part of this project!
Hope me and my songs will reach you soon! For a small preview of the program, click here
