Folklore of 21st Century.
A project based on the popular songbook of Cantabria, which approaches regional music from a contemporary perspective, by introducing electronic elements that take tradition to a new and unexplored dimension. Cantabrian folklore of the 21st century.
Irene Atienza and Yoel Molina have composed and edited a propsal that adapts jotas and tonadas to electronic rhythms from Cantabria. "I had been singing the folklore of another country for years and I wondered, why not my own?" With that premise, Irene Atienza found an unexpected objective, but one that had always been latent. To take the songs she heard at home, from her mother, her grandfather, those she sang since she was a child, to another terrain. The ones that spun round and round on a cassette when, every summer, the family made the journey to Casa Palma, their house in Cabuérniga.
A pandemic and general isolation led her to fill hours in the virtual world. That's where (technologically) Yoel Molina, a jazz musician from Madrid, crossed her path, whom that same pandemic led to rethink his place in the world, at least his place of residence, and moved to Valderredible.
