Named after the twelve-sided ‘golden tower’ that dominates the River Guadilquivir in Seville, La Torre del Oro traces the musical cross-currents that run between Spain and Central and South America - Mexico, Venezuela, Argentina and Chile. Starting in the 1500s, the album’s captivating journey extends to the modern day.

Singers Céline Scheen, Luciana Mancini and Vincenzo Capezzuto join Christina Pluhar and her colleagues in L’Arpeggiata, whose instruments include theorbo, baroque guitar, Venezuelan cuatro (a guitar with just four strings), harp, cornetto, harpsichord, accordion and maracas.

“An intoxicating mixture of Spanish and Latin American musical traditions." - BBC Radio 3
