North and South: two distant points listening to each other. One single wind blows. This wind brings the epic sound of a southern ritual established at the edge of knowledge and time. Tabolango (“strong wind”) is a little town near Quillota (Chile). Each year the ritual of “Cruz de Mayo” (“May Cross”) occurs. The “Chinos” (”servants”) spend all day thanksgiving and praying with their music and dances. Let’s invite their wind to tell us their intention. This piece is dedicated to my friend Francisco Campos, with whom I’ve learned about this culture. |
