The early-music icon leads 30 musicians from three continents in a dialogue with the music of Africa, America and the Caribbean.

Renowned Spanish ethnomusicologist Jordi Savall returns to the Hop with his latest project. Songs, Battles and Dances is a sound journey that traces the map of the influences crossed between the old and the new world through a vibrant collection of music spanning Medieval troubadours, Slave Songs from the African diaspora, indigenous melodies and Sephardic prayers.

The viola da gamba virtuoso joins forces with his usual ensembles—La Capella Reial de Catalunya and Hespèrion XXI—and with musicians from Canada, Guadeloupe and Mexico (with the Tembembe Ensamble Continuo). More than 20 musicians come together on a single stage to remind us that music has always been the refuge of oppressed communities.
