About This Item
The work of an artist o2en suggests that of an alchemist. In her new album, Aire, Mexican singer and composer Magos Herrera transformed the grief, fears, and loneliness of a deadly plague into a luminous collection of songs representing Incha celebration of our humanity and the healing power of music.Inch Aire features twelve songs and includes her new compositions and gems from the Great Latin American Songbook, such as InchAlfonsina y el MarInch and InchGracias a la Vida.Inch Those two classics suggest bookends of the experience in Aire, InchAlfonsina...Inch as an acknowledgment of impermanence and death; InchGracias a la VidaInch as a prayer of gratitude for the many gifts of life. But for two exceptions - the voice and guitar duo of InchPassarinhadeiraInch and the octet reading of the Vinicius de Moraes and Baden Powell's classic InchSamba em PreludioInch -Magos sings over a musical canvas provided by her jazz trio augmented by an orchestra under the artistic direction of Eric and Colin Jacobsen, of Brooklyn Rider fame.
