Traces the buried colonial roots of baroque music through poetry and improvisation with ten musicians from across the Americas_x000D_ />_x000D_ />This combined chapbook and musical album collects the work of a group of musicians convened by violinist and composer, Keir GoGwilt. The Zarabanda Variations also features Edgar Garcia's prose, poetry, and performances, creating a space for the textual, visual, and musical components of the project to be in conversation. Through these various media, the artists traverse the colonial histories of musical dances like the zarabanda, which eventually became known as the Sarabande in European Baroque culture. The result is a multimedia collage of musical traditions, personal reflections, original compositions and improvisations, which challenge the projected unity of the Baroque by drawing from the fractured, migratory reality of its past and future. Other contributors (also featured on the album): Wilfrido Terrazas, Mariana Flores Bucio, Vicente Atria, Miranda Cuckson, Carrie Frey, John Popham, Alec Goldfarb, Kyle Motl, and Jonny Allen.
