Carlos Garaicoa: Partitura

Carlos Garaicoa has imagined a new kind of orchestra — made up of 40 individual recordings of street musicians from Madrid and Bilbao, Spain. These artists vary radically in cultural background, skill level and musical tradition. 

Garaicoa worked with composer Estaban Puebla to produce a virtuoso composition out of this extraordinary range of performances. 

Partitura celebrates the potential for unity to be created from great diversity. It joyfully celebrates the visual and the musical and the possibilities of collaboration across cultures and genres.​
