This album takes off from where a previous Jordi Savall release, Villancicos y danzas criollas (Creole Dances and Villancicos), left off. Now Savall, aided by his wife and lead vocalist Montserrat Figueras, as well as several of his longtime co-conspirators, has formed a new group, Tembembe Ensamble Continuo, specifically devoted to the Latin American Baroque repertory heard here. 

The second issue, and here is where Savall's percussion-heavy approach is really innovative, is that Spanish music, as performed and sometimes composed in Mexico and other colonies, interacted with the traditions of Africans and Native Americans. Some of the music is improvised, as it would have been three centuries ago, and when the string players get going over fairly complex polyrhythms you feel as though you're a step away from jazz. To get an idea of what this is all about, sample the pieces by Santiago de Murcia contained on track 5, which opens with a rock & roll-like rhythm. The cumbés, heard in the first part of this track, was the most African of the Spanish New World genres, and the harp-and-maraca music in the second half reflects on Native American contact.

The traditional son jarocho, from the Veracruz region, is represented by several pieces; Los Chiles Verdes (The Green Chile Peppers, track 19) gives an idea of what was at stake between Native American women and their Spanish overlords, and of why so few people in Mexico today are either fully Native American or fully Spanish. , track 11, contains Africanisms and might have been used in missionary activity. Savall hasn't made a dull recording in his life, but this particular strand of his output is especially persistently fascinating.
