about the Convivencia album (La Mandragore)

Sept-oct 2013

 

 

Ingried Boussaroque visited the Folk Music Festival in Siglufjord, Iceland, in the summer of 2013. Her concert on medieval music made a great impact on the listeners. Her lecture at the Folk Music Academy on music from northern Spain and France was most interesting and proved her thorough knowledge of that topic.

The title translates as coexistence, cohabitation and conviviality. In the liner notes to the disc, vocalist Ingried Boussaroque points to Montreal as a place where people of all origins live in peace. And that, when you think about it, is a kind of magic...

Don't miss the great duff solo on track 2 and the lovely composition by Hildegarde von Bingen on track 3; watch for the intricate harmonies ofthe flute with Ingried Boussaroque's warm soprano, and see how her voice rises, pure as a flame, floating away at the end.
