G.l. Frank: Conquest R... - Jessica Rivera - Audio CD (Arrives in 50 days)

Gabriela Lena Frank’s Conquest Requiem brings to life the complexities of colonisation, identity, and survival through the story of Malinche, a Nahua woman from the Gulf Coast of Mexico who was given to the Spaniards as a young slave. Using a fusion of Western liturgical traditions, indigenous Nahua poetry, and Latin influences, this powerful work deals with the fundamental question of how to reconcile a legacy of historical violence that continues to shape modern issues. Antonio Estévez’s wildly popular Cantata Criolla—considered one of the greatest choral pieces of the 20th century in Latin America—is the composer’s most celebrated work.
