Sol Y Canto
Sabor Y Memoria (2024)
album
Composed by musical director Brian Amador for the Sol y Canto Sextet plus a string quartet, SABOR Y MEMORIA is a seven-song suite all about food, in rhythms from Cuba, Venezuela, Mexico, Argentina, Peru, Panama and Puerto Rico. From appetizer to dessert, it’s a Latino musico-culinary, multi-sensory mix of music, images and flavors, where each movement is a “dish” in an imaginary meal!
Anyone who comes from far away to live here knows that the deepest and most distant memories can be triggered by an aroma, a sound or a taste. Music and food are among the strongest cultural expressions of our roots, connecting us to our origins by pathways much more profound and direct than conscious thought. SABOR Y MEMORIA explores the
connections between music, food, and identity, mixing Latin musical genres in much the same way that flavors are blended in the cuisine of a new land.
Recorded live in Boston, the CD is now available, along with a DVD featuring the stunning photomontages that accompany the music. Click here for ordering information, behind-the-scenes interviews, and recipes!
