In celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, Rumbarroco Ensemble presents an immersive musical voyage that traverses the vibrant landscape of Ibero-American music. Through the fiery strings of the Fandango and the graceful patterns of the Marionas, they pay tribute to the Morenas—the dark-skinned women whose stories of love and endurance are woven into melodies and dances. From the sacred to the secular, this “Journey of Love” explores themes of identity, exile, and the enduring power of music to bridge the divide between then and now, here and home.

“…an unprecedented synthesis of European Renaissance and Baroque music with contemporary Latin American popular and folk music… it demonstrates more clearly and cogently than any lecture could how Latin American music itself has excitingly united African, Arabic, and European traditions.”

—Gus Denhard in The Boston Musical Intelligencer
