Navegação

How can the maps of others be about our own journeys? Can the songs of others be about ourselves? The first edition of Fusion’s Navegação concert series offers a celebration of the remarkable choral composers and arrangers of Latin America. When navigators were underway towards the Americas in late 16th century, they were looking for something very different to what they found. The challenges of overcoming and accepting the differences and commonalities of people meeting again after tens of thousands of years of human dispersion unfolded with surprise, awe, trauma and adventure. People have been sharing the stories and emotions of continuous migrations, uprooting, relocating hurt and hope, amazement and awe. These experiences became a source of music making moored to persistent longing and the resisting and centring relief of dance and song, as sound and stories tell us about how we navigate living in our world.
