“Dream of the sun dreaming its worlds. Sing till the song throws out root, trunk, branches, birds, stars.
Sing until the dream engenders the spring at which you may drink and recognize yourself and recover.”
Octavio Paz
In society, poets and songwriters play the essential role of dreamers, opening up avenues of hope for others. Despite the oppressive regimes which prevailed
throughout much of Latin America and Spain in the twentieth century, what p ersevered from the dreamers was an unending love for beauty and humanity.
Mexican-born songstress Magos Herrera and the omnivorous string quartet Brooklyn Rider join forces for an unforgettable musical journey, reinterpreting classics
of the era from Mexico, Cuba, Peru, Chile, Brazil, Argentina, and Spain, and celebrating such luminaries as Octavio Paz, Federico García Lorca, and Rubén Darío.
Brooklyn Rider offers eclectic repertoire in gripping performances that continue to attract legions of fans and draw rave reviews from classical, world, and rock critics
alike. “They are four classical musicians performing with the energy of young rock stars jamming on their guitars, a Beethoven-goes-indie foray into making classical
music accessible but also celebrating why it was good in the first place.” Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Magos Herrera is regarded as one of the most expressive, beautiful voices and most a ctive vocalists in the contemporary Latin American jazz scene. She is best
known for her eloquent vocal improvisation and her bold style, that elegantly blends and surpasses language boundaries. “Herrera is stretching the very notion of
jazz singing, pushing past the diva pleasantries into a sound that’s bold, thrilling and effortlessly global.” NPR

“Hay que dormir con los ojos abiertos, hay que soñar con las manos, soñemos sueños activos de río buscando su cauce, sueños de sol
soñando sus mundos, hay que soñar en voz alta hay que cantar hasta que el canto eche raíces, tronco, ramas, pájaros, astros cantar
hasta que el sueño engendre y brote del costado del dormido la espiga roja de la resurrección.”
Octavio Paz
En la sociedad los poetas y cantautores juegan el rol esencial de soñadores que abren caminos de esperanza.A pesar de los regímenes opresivos durante el siglo
XX en América Latina y España, lo que prevalece de estos grandes artistas es la resonancia interminable de su amor por la belleza y la humanidad. La cantante de
Jazz mexicana, Magos Herrera y el omnívoro cuarteto de cuerdas, Brooklyn Rider, unen sus fuerzas en una inolvidable travesía musical reinterpretando clásicos de
ésta era desde Mexico, Cuba, Peru, Chile, Brazil, Argentina y España, celebrando algunas luminarias literarias como Octavio Paz, Federico García Lorca, Rubén Darío
