Canto A Lo Divino
Boomkat Product Review:
A collection of rustic sacred music from Chile's Central Valley, 'Canto a lo Divino' is an extraordinary set, compiled from an archive of hundreds of hours of intimate field recordings of the Canto - music rarely, if ever, heard outside of the region.
This latest Mississippi is one of their best in ages, focusing on a musical form that's been around for centuries but little known outside Chile. Chilean folk music, known as el Canto a lo Poeta, is split into two major groups of themes: Canto a lo Divino (singing to the divine) and Canto a lo Humano (singing to the human). In the latter, the music deals with social criticism, romance and humor, while the former is a folk equivalent of sacred music. On 'Canto a lo Divino', it's these religious themes that take priority, with vocalists singing in 10-line rhyming décimas over strummed guitar and Guitarrón Chileno, a local 25-string guitar-shaped instrument unique to the region.
The Guitarrón's peculiar jangle accompanies Ema Madariaga on 'por Sodoma y Gomorra' and Gabriel Huentemil's 'por David', among other songs. It sounds not unlike a 12-string guitar (and so harmonizes with bluegrass and country music from the American South) but the Guitarrón is a little different, spiced up with four short, high-pitched strings known as "diablitos" (or little devils) that lend this music an almost phantasmagorical tone, decorating the singers' tales of labor, harvest and family with shimmering, hypnotic waves of sound.
The music here was collected by Museo Campesino En Movimiento, a Chilean museum that has spent years archiving hundreds of hours of field recordings - it feels like a privilege to be able to now hear it, there's little else quite like it.
