To the sound of recorders, bagpipe, hurdy gurdies, Spanish guitar, accordion and more, ¡Viva la Pepa! is set to spellbind History Museum visitors. The group’s free performance in the auditorium – 6-7:30 pm Friday, Oct. 22 – accompanies the exhibit, The Threads of Memory: Spain and the United States.
Tomás Lozano, Sharon Berman and Juan Wijngaard will perform fiery, playful and even mournful melodies, putting a modern kick on a bygone past. Through the centuries, Spain has delivered an extraordinary repertoire of music, fusing native Spanish Iberian music with other European styles and, later, American influences. Viva la Pepa samples this musical legacy of romances, jácaras, jotas, muiñeiras, pasacalles, and other regional melodies.
