Conceived by AMOC* violinist Keir GoGwilt, Zarabanda Variations brings together a group of visionary composers, improvisers, and performers to draw inspiration from the musical histories of 16th- and 17th-century New Spain (present day Mexico). The zarabanda is a dance with supposed Spanish, American, and Arab origins, plausibly named from the Bantu “nsala-banda,” which eventually transformed into a courtly dance of the European baroque. Zarabanda Variations, celebrating its New York premiere at Lincoln Center, explores the archival gaps of early American music, creating a surprising and vibrant synthesis of European and Latin baroque, folk, and contemporary musical traditions.
