Cuerpo Aldea can be translated as “body village”. As the title expresses, the compositions are born from multiple influences, South American traditions in dialogue with a singular body. A village where all heard sounds and all that was apprehended over time converges.
In Manu Rosales’ debut album, the guitar and the composer’s voice are protagonists elements. However, the compositions have a diverse instrumentation including arrangement with flute, clarinet, quena, sikus, double bass, cello, percussion set, didgeridoo and Kora.
