Passisparsi
Apra Finestra! Canzoni Moresche
PassiSparsi is a vocal ensemble from Florence particularly attentive to the secular a cappella repertoire and "Apra Fiestra!" is its debut album. "Apra Fiestra!" celebrates the musical genre of Moresca, to which the ensemble has dedicated a long study supported by ethnomusicologist Gianfranco Salvatore. The Moresca has always fascinated musicians with the language of its lyrics, which are seemingly incomprehensible but instead full of references to the world of linguistic minorities present in Naples in the 15th and 16th centuries, often linked to the world of slaves from Africa. These languages almost become a hidden message of human beings lost in the darkness of history that today come to us through the centuries, thanks to the musical form of Moresca.
