A Tiempo Real – A New Take on Spanish Tradition, from the Vigüela group.
Spanish traditional music by the Vigüela group from Castilla-La Mancha, the land of Don Quixote. They present music from different regions, as they have always been played. Vigüela plays the music in A Tiempo Real (In Real Time), using folk instruments and kitchen utensils. A Tiempo Real travels deep into the heart and soul of village life and reveals traditions, values and life stories. And in the Spanish folk tradition, music did not belong on stage, but in the streets of the village.
