Pre-concert Discussion with Tembembe co-founders Eloy Cruz and Enrique Barona, and BLEM board member and director of the Latin American Music Center at IU, Javier F. León: • BLEMF23 | Pre-concert ...
Exploring layers of overlap between Hispanic baroque guitar music and traditional Mexican songs, this concert program showcases how and why baroque and traditional expressions are two faces of the same musical coin, distant in time yet close in spirit. Widely celebrated for their festive performances of music, singing, and dance, Tembembe Ensamble Continuo has performed extensively in Mexico, the Americas, and across Europe and Asia, including at such prestigious US venues as the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles and the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC. They have recorded for UDC (Mexico), Sony BMG Deutsche harmonia mundi (Germany), and AliaVox (Spain). (Mexico City, Mexico)

Tembembe Ensamble Continuo is a chamber group dedicated to the research and performance of baroque Hispanic music and the traditional music from Mexico called “son.” Its performances revive the festive spirit of the 17th century New Spain Fandango and the contemporary Mexican Fandango through music, song, and dance. Tembembe has performed extensively in Mexico, the Americas, Europe and Asia, and has participated in numerous festivals and concert series. The ensemble’s collaborations include those with international groups and artists such as Lila Downs, Celso Duarte, ensemble Los Otros (Bremen), ensemble Mare Nostrum (Rome; Andrea de Carlo, director), and Hesperión XXI, (Barcelona; Jordi Savall, director). In 2010, two of Tembembe’s performances were nominated as “events of the decade” by Channel 22 NPTV, Mexico: the concert with Lila Downs in October 2006, and the concert with Jordi Savall at the 36th International Cervantino Festival.

BLEMF 2023: Early Music Crossroads maps musical connections across Arabic regions, the Iberian Peninsula, and the Americas during the early music period, revealing deeply complex cultural relationships that emerged from centuries of conquests, occupations, and colonialization. Musicians long stood at these intersections and their music resounds with social, political and personal history, and greatly influenced cultural exchange as they put forward their own distinctive traditions or absorbed and adapted elements of traditions they encountered.
