Celmaca with Osvaldo Hernandez Napoles, Patricia Hernandez Van Cauwenberge & Sébatien Taminiau - Cantos Bebida y Muerte (2023) [Hi-Res]

Invitation to celebration and journey, "Cantos bebida y muerte," their second album draws inspiration from the traditions and rituals of Latin America, contrasting with a constantly accelerating world. This sung repertoire is accompanied by rhythms and stringed instruments, rich in different tones, that strive to resonate with ancient traditions. It evokes Mexico's Day of the Dead, accompanied by joyful music, as well as "Mezcal," the fiery and ancestral spirit derived from the agave plant in Mexico, renowned for healing troubled souls, loosening tongues, and making merry revelers sing. It explores work songs that give heart to labor and enhance productivity, deceiving boredom and suffering, as well as the "Coplas a la pilandera" song, evoking joy and inviting playfulness and dance. From land to sea, this collection also includes peteneras (a musical genre from the Mexican Huasteca region) populated by sirens, mythological figures eroticized, captivating, and with enchanting voices, who have special relationships with men. With the "Petenera del emigrante," the unfortunate man calls upon this Lady of the Waters for help. Embark on the next leg of the journey and let yourself be enchanted by these fascinating characters and stories.
