World Music at A8: "Melodies Under the Sun · Spain" Exhibition

Spain, on the Iberian Peninsula, this land kissed by the sun, has since ancient times been a melting pot of clashing civilizations.
The foundations of Roman drama, the exotic melodies of the Moors, the solemn hymns of Christianity, and the unrestrained soul of the Gypsies have layered upon each other over time, forging the unique character of Spanish music—as fiery as flames and as profound as the starry sky.

This year, "World Music at A8" will guide you across the intersection of Europe and Africa. From elegant courtly classics and grassroots folk arts to emerging arts that play with contemporary spirit.
We invite you to the A8 Arts Center to wander amidst the unique Iberian scales and the strumming of guitars, feeling the resilient heritage and passionate inclusivity of Spanish culture.
