Release Notes:
ConstantinopleÆs ninth recording for ATMA, Terra
Nostra is a musical journey into the sounds of 17th
century Mexico. Joining Constantinople are Mexican
guests and son Jarocho specialists JosΘ Angel
GutiΘrrez and Teresita de Jesus Islas. Masters of
improvisation, Constantinople revisits the Xacaras,
the Fandango and La Bamba and other traditional
forms as they were performed almost 400 years ago.
Terra Nostra was inspired by a meeting of musical
minds during a tour to Veracruz, Mexico. A random
encounter with GutiΘrrez and Jesus Islas in their
village, Lerdo de Tejada, resulted in an exchange
of musical traditions and ideas. The heritage and
depth of the ôold worldö combined with the
effervescence and openness of the 17th century ônew
worldö gave birth to the Mexican Baroque. The
result ù a new form of music with extraordinary
rhythmic vitality and stunning melodic virtuosity
