Where it came from
Released in the late 1990s by the K617 label, Conquista y Reconquista is a scholarly and evocative exploration of the musical intersections between the Iberian Peninsula and the New World during the 16th and 17th centuries. Gabriel Garrido and Ensemble Elyma were instrumental in this project, which emerged from a broader movement in early music to document the profound influence of Spanish polyphony and folk traditions on colonial Latin American liturgical and secular repertoires.
The album reflects Garrido’s commitment to historical performance practice, emphasizing the vibrant, rhythmic, and textural qualities of baroque music from the Hispanic world. By highlighting works that underscore the cultural dialogue between the 'Reconquista' of Spain and the colonial expansion in the Americas, the ensemble aimed to bridge the gap between academic research and accessible interpretation. Upon its release, it was lauded by critics for its instrumental color and the ensemble's dedication to capturing the authentic, spirited essence of the era's cross-cultural musical language.
