Somewhere in 18th century Latin America, the priest has just concluded mass, and now it?s time for festivities! traditional dances with flutes and drums. The music on the album also reproduces the liturgical repertoire which, through its texts in Guarani, Mapudungun, Mochica, Spanish or Latin, tells of the subjugating force of a Christian-Catholic worldview, implemented over several centuries. Ensemble Villancico has introduced the Scandinavian audience to a new genre: early world music from Latin America. Music and dance reflect the traditions of the varied population, where both Native, African, and European elements are expressed in a fiesta accompanied by America, as well as the Galapagos Islands. The ensemble's founder and leader since the beginning is Peter Pontvik, born in Copenhagen in 1963, and educated in composition, musicology, vocal and choral conducting in Sweden, Germany, and Uruguay. He has written chamber music, choral and orchestral works, and has done extensive research in early music.
