- Description: These days, when even the term "dreamers" is disputed territory, celebrating beauty is a political act. That is the beating heart of Dreamers, the collaboration between New York-based Mexican singer Magos Herrera and the string quartet Brooklyn Rider. The recording, released on September 21 on Sony Music Masterworks, includes gems of the Ibero-American songbook such as "Volver a los 17," (To Be 17 Again); "Coraçao Vagabundo," (Vagabond Heart); and "Balderrama," as well as pieces written to texts by Octavio Paz, Rubén Darío, and Federico García Lorca - all reimagined by a superb group of arrangers including Jaques Morelenbaum, Gonzalo Grau, Diego Schissi, Guillermo Klein and Brooklyn Rider's own Colin Jacobsen. The connecting thread is that the poets and songwriters featured on Dreamers came from places that have endured brutal state violence. Consider Violeta Parra, from Chile; Joao Gilberto, Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil, from Brazil; Gustavo "Cuchi" Leguizamón, from Argentina and García Lorca, Spain. Poet, essayist and Nobel Prize winner Paz even resigned as Mexico's ambassador to India in 1968 to protest his government's violent repression of student demonstrations. "It is, first of all, an album of incredible songs, beautiful songs," says Herrera. But it's beauty with a purpose. The creators featured here, "were affected in different ways, but what transcends is their work, and their work represents love, " she says. "Love for humanity, love for democracy and the inspiration to dream. It's important to remember that every big change in history happened because someone dared to dream about it. This work is to inspire people to keep dreaming. "In fact, for Colin Jacobsen, the quartet's violinist and resident composer and arranger, Dreamers is a reminder that "beauty can come out of terrible situations.
