Overview
Cantoría leads listeners into a vibrant festive world filled with the joyful energy of Baroque villancicos, popular carols used to entice people to church, theatrical jácaras and richly flavoured dances. The thrilling Spanish vocal ensemble, founded in 2016 at the International Festival of Early Music in Sierra Espuña, is joined by a suitably colourful mix of period instruments.
