 Jarana's Four Aces
Jarana's Four Aces is a collection of previously un-released field recordings made in the 1950s by Latin American literary historian José Durand Flórez (1925-1990) and has been restored and archived by British Library Sound Archive under the auspices of Dr Janet Topp Fargion as part of the BL's World and Traditional Music Section.
For instance, we learn that each jarana follows a series of clearly defined movements sung exclusively in either a major or minor mode; and that the initial melody is often based on a well-known verse taken from classical Spanish poetry of colonial times which is often subsequently contrasted with more contemporary Peruvian themes.
Through this stimulating collection, he illustrates the ways in which jarana performances used to inject a unique and uplifting energy into what was, in the beginning of the 20th century, one of the world's most fetid and over-crowded cities.
