Rebolada: Tales of the Uprooted

Rebolada is a voice and piano duo which presents a deconstruction of traditional Spanish influences through a contemporary prism. Sounds and echoes of folkloric dances are intertwined with jazz harmonies and the surprising quality of free improvisation.

Their new album “Tales of the uprooted” speaks to the experience of leaving a home to build another elsewhere. It expresses a yearning for a sense of belonging through a playful curiosity for tradition. Rebolada converses with a past which arrives to us in the simultaneously simple and cryptic language of folklore.

Singer Irene Sorozábal and pianist Adrián Moncada engage in a dance which strives to reconcile the rigid structures of tradition with the fluidity of memory. A stork, a snake, mortar and tambourine resounding in an ample landscape and grandmothers who can see much more than anyone else coexist with a mower who operates on its own and a machine which decides to stop and follow its own dance.
