Building Bridges—Vintage Music of Latin America
Building Bridges celebrates the sensual spirit, lyrical, expressive melodies and pulsating rhythms of vintage habaneras, tangos, and waltzes, from Cuba, Brazil, Argentina, Venezuela and Mexico. These dance music styles were the forerunners of samba, salsa, and other Latin styles heard today. You'll hear familiar melodies and others that may be new to you, by composers Ernesto Nazareth, Ernesto Lecuona (made famous by Desi Arnaz, star of the I Love Lucy show), and more. Pianist Jacqueline Schwab, heard on Ken Burns’ PBS documentaries (Civil War, Baseball, Mark Twain, National Parks, and others) performs both classical arrangements and some of her own.
