For each of the 10 pieces on the album, we chose a wood engraving by the german artist Detlef Willand (1935-2022). These works have their origin in Willand's multiple pilgrimages to Santiago, compilated in his book "Der Weg". In the booklet, you can find Willand's works and we tell you the story behind each track and our ideas for the arrangements (in English and Spanish).

about

“The word road in my case will never mean anything other than a detour, the eternal labyrinth made by the traveller that allows himself to be lured by a side road and then by the side road of that side road, by the mystery of the unknown place name on a road sign” ,says the dutch author Cees Nooteboom in his book Roads to Santiago , a beautifully written diary of his journeys through Spain in the 1980s and 1990s.
This interest in veering off the beaten track and losing oneself in promising horizons is also the driving force of our work. Applying these ideas in music means turning off the motorway of orthodox performance and trusting that our instincts will sometimes take us to idyllic and surprising places and sometimes to the middle of nowhere. These detours also allow us to bring out our playfulness, mixing styles and genres and to embrace the influences and experiences within us.
With this work we are also taking a detour in our choice of repertoire. Not all the pieces in the album have close links with the Camino de Santiago: Italian folk dances have also seeped into the music as well as a trip to Morocco with Alfonso X the Wise (King of Castille from 1252-1284) and the joy of returning to the village of 20th century Basque musicologist and composer, Father Donostia. The spirit of the traveller is the link between our work and Nooteboom ́s and was the original inspiration for this album that has accompanied us on our creative journey.
