Número 44 de la revista: FolkWorld



Aqui os dejo una reseña de nuestro último trabajo "Entre Tonadas" que sale en el número 44 de la revista FolkWorld.


VIGÜELA is a band from the town of Carpio de Tajo, province of Toledo. Their music belongs to the traditions from the central-southern part of Spain : from the autonomous community of Castilla-La Mancha (the land of Don Quijote). This is also related with the sounds from the neighbouring regions : mainly Castilla y Leon, but probably keeping connections with the traditional music from Madrid, Extremadura, Andalusia, Murcia, Levante, Aragon, ... Their CD ‘Entre Tonadas’ is a rich compilation of Spanish dance rhythms such as : tonadas, jotas, seguidillas, coplas, fandangos, rondeñas, ... But there is also a beautiful traditional lullaby based on a recording made by Alan LOMAX in 1952 in the municipality of La Solana (province of Ciudad Real). Three female and three male voices singing with the strength, harmony and rhythm that has characterized the folk music from this part of the Iberian peninsula : desolated & dry in the summer, many times forgotten, but with powerful roots & personality. The instruments they play are also very respectful with the traditions of this kind of Castilian music. There are many plucked string instruments : guitar, bandurria, laud (lute), guitarro manchego (‘male’ guitar from La Mancha), but there are mostly dozens of domestic & farming percussion instruments : almireces (mortars) of several sizes/tunings made with bronze or olive tree wood, caldero de hierro (iron cauldron), yerros (sort of triangles), campanillas y galdarros para aparejos de caballerías (bells & harnesses for the horses), botella de anis (bottle of anis), sarten con cuchara y dedal (frying pan hit with spoon & thimble), caña toledana (split cane stick, similar to the one used in Andalusia), rapador con tenedor (lemon skin grater), zambombas (friction drums, made with ceramic pots & PVC pipes), cántaro (clay pitcher), panderetas (tambourines), pandera (large frame drum hit with a stick), castañeta (castagnet), ... VIGÜELA is performing these 19 songs according to their traditional patterns, as their ancestors have proudly done for generations. Listening to them you may find rhythms and melodies that could remind you of some familiar sounds, similar to the music from Andalusia, but also some folk from northern Spanish regions. And for sure there are a few similarities, but there are also lots of peculiarities. FolkWorld has talked in the past about another important band from Madrid & Castilla – La Mancha : ALJIBE. The core of their traditional music belongs to the same roots as the one from VIGÜELA. This kind of central Spanish folk music is still something to be re-discovered in depth, and we will keep doing it in future issues of FolkWorld.
