Navidad Castellana | Arrabel en concierto

Concert by Arrabel, an association dedicated to recovering and disseminating Castilian traditional culture, with villancicos, aguinaldos and Christmas romances in its repertoire.

Arrabel is an association with a long track record dedicated to recovering, developing and disseminating Castilian traditional culture. Its Christmas proposal brings together carols from Madrid and from other parts of the region, in line with Castilian musical intangible heritage.

The repertoire includes villancicos, aguinaldos, pastorelas, romances and rondas de pascua. The pieces combine strings, winds and percussion, with panderos, panderetas and zambombas, instruments typical of these festivities.

The root of each piece is respected, as are its instruments and also its costumes, as the proposal itself indicates. It is an opportunity to get closer to styles linked both to the history of Madrid and to that of other Castilian provinces.
