The performers created new instrumental colors for these works, which were originally written for voice and piano, while remaining faithful to the composers' original notes.

Historical Context
Many of the composers on this album belong to the 'Generation of '27', a group of 20th-century musicians and poets united by friendship, shared knowledge, and common places of study or exile.
Historical Context
Argentina served as a fertile ground for the exile of Spanish composers Manuel de Falla and Rafael Alberti, both of whom befriended the great Argentinian composer Carlos Guastavino.
Historical Context
The Cante Hondo Contest of Granada in 1922, where composers fought against the oblivion of a people's profound voice, and the 1927 Góngora centenary, which inspired a search for poetic purity, were significant events for these artists.
Album & Artwork
The album title "Migrando" (Migrating) reflects the concept of a journey through deep oceanic waters, symbolizing the historical migrations between America and Europe.
