      Fiesta! with Elbio Barilari

      Baroque Music from the New World The music written and performed in Latin America during the Colonial period (16th to early 19th centuries) has become more popular in recent years. However, even before those treasures were rediscovered, several composers from the region showed their interest in exploring the strong connections between Spanish and European music from the past and Latin American music. Elbio shares Baroque music written in Boliva and 20th century music from Spain and Latin America inspired by this music.
