From Violetta Parra to Gilberto Gil and Octavio Paz to Rubén Darío, the intrepid string quartet and Latin jazz singer celebrate artistic flowers sprung up from adversity
Creativity can blossom in the most challenging of times. That’s the premise of “Dreamers,” an album by multilingual Latin jazz singer Magos Herrera and the string quartet Brooklyn Rider.
“We were looking at how these flowers sprang up in difficult circumstances,” said Colin Jacobsen, speaking from his home in Brooklyn. “And how the poets and musicians who contributed to this repertoire dared to dream of beauty. Herrera and the quartet will perform “Dreamers” Saturday at the La Jolla Music Society’s Baker-Baum Concert Hall.
The beauty of the songs is enhanced by Herrera’s lovely and expressive contralto. Singing in English, Portuguese, Spanish and sometimes wordlessly, she transcends borders — musical and otherwise. Herrera’s new album, “Aire,” will be released today and includes contributions by The Knights, a New York-based orchestral collective. It was founded by Jacobsen with his brother Eric, who served as artistic directors on the tracks featuring The Knights.
