The Afro-Latin Lounge

South American connections

The AAM’s Brazilian leader Rodolfo Richter and acclaimed Colombian soprano Juanita Lascarro star in a programme revealing connections between the music of seventeenth- and eighteenth- century South American composers and their European contemporaries. The Spanish and Portuguese settlement of South America began at the turn of the sixteenth century, and European culture took hold over the following decades as the colonisers’ influence on the continent deepened. Some European musicians travelled to the New World to take up positions within the colonial hierarchy: Tomás de Torrejón y Velasco, for example, served as superintendent of an armoury and Chief Justice of a Peruvian province. Domenico Zipoli, on the other hand, was one of a group of Jesuit missionaries who travelled to Paraguay . And, over time, second- and third- generation settlers began to make their livelihoods in music — including the Brazilian composer José Joaquim Emerico Lobo de Mesquita. Many of these musical greats enjoyed real prominence in South America long after their deaths — but they failed to gain widespread recognition in Europe . We right that wrong, showcasing music from the Old World alongside masterworks from the New.
