Collection Los Calchakis en Choeur

:

This collection is the result of a collaboration between Iris Thion-Poncet and Sergio Arriagada (leader and member of Los Calchakis).
It brings together ten arrangements for solo choir of music from popular tradition and Latin American composers. These pieces are part of the sung repertoire of the famous group Los Calchakis.
Some pieces were also composed for the occasion by Sergio Arriagada on original lyrics by Hector Miranda (founder of the group) and Pablo Urquiza (member of the group and poet).
As this music is spread by oral transmission, the performer has a great freedom in the choice of tempos, rubatos, nuances, accompaniments, percussion, onomatopoeia and numbers.
All indications of this kind are only proposals, knowing all the same that each piece works a cappella.
