Tú también puedes ser la flor, la que revela sus pétalos a la caricia de la noche. Yo no quiero, ahora mismo no quiero, ser la flor. Quiero ser árbol para infundirte el florecer.

Cintura adentro todo es agua, la eternidad de un instante ya se ha perdido. Podrían brotar margaritas de entre mis uñas eso es destino podrían brotar margaritas de entre mis uñas sería sino de reina porque la eternidad de un instante ya se ha perdido.

Vacant dream 05:15
lyrics

And I dare to conceal what we all know so well. I leave it to the birds to sing and the berries to hold the taste of truth and the dragonflies to quiver. No word need I to say, and no furtive glimpse I need to catch, as it is still back in the days, then when we were fish and you were all fire and fortune. Our fate is engraved in the past, so why speak it out loud, and make it all fatally real?

about

Few musicians are as versatile as the Spanish-born recorder player and mezzo-soprano Irene Sorozábal. Not only is she a leading member of the renaissance recorder consort The Royal Wind Music, you can also find her in the Groot Omroepkoor, Capella Amsterdam and Bachkoor Holland. At events such as the Gaudeamus Music Week, the Amsterdam Fringe Festival and Early Music Utrecht you will regularly find her on stage.

Sorozábal, who also enjoys composing, has an adventurous spirit and likes to seek freedom in her musical expressions. She loves to improvise and has a great affinity for jazz and folk music. In her own work, she searches for an appropriate synthesis of these diverse influences and genres. Something that can certainly be heard on her debut ‘Kurkuma' on the TRPTK label. On this album she explores how you can give expression to vulnerability, a more than extraordinary starting point.

The lineup of her ensemble could have come straight out of jazz, with trumpeter Kirsi-Marja Harju, pianist Adrián Moncada, double bassist Pedro Ivo Ferreira and drummer George Hadow. But Sorozábal does not allow herself to be squeezed into any particular style or tradition and uses all the influences to create a new and extraordinarily original structure. Her story encapsulates many centuries of music and actually forms a new language, one that sounds seemingly lovely but has a deeper content behind it. An aspect that perhaps comes to the surface most in "Nana," a collective improvisation that balances on the edge of fragility, with a leading role for her voice.
