Parked By the Jukebox with Arianna Savall’s “El Mariner”

Parked By the Jukebox with Arianna Savall’s “El Mariner” May 5, 2015

Hans Gude--Innseilingen Til Christiania--1874.jpgToday’s jam? A lilting Catalonian folk song, courtesy of Arianna Savall’s “Bella Terra.”

The whole album’s really wonderful, but this is the one that keeps grabbing me as it floats past. (Also, if the name “Savall” seems familiar, that’s because Arianna is the daughter of the renowned Catalonian conductor, viol player, and composer, Jordi Savall, one of the major figures in the field of Western early music and head of the eminently-listenable Hespèrion XX. Or Hespèrion XXI, depending on the year.)
