Magos Herrera & Brooklyn Rider / Dreamers (2018)
With the bold and expressive singer Magos Herrera, we celebrate the power of beauty as a political act, exploring the artistry of Violeta Parra, Federico Garcia Lorca, Gilberto Gil, Joao Gilberto, Octavio Paz, and others who dared to dream under repressive regimes. These artists have transcended the brutality through their work, work that represents love for humanity, love for democracy, and the inspiration to dream. Featuring evocative arrangements by Jaques Morelenbaum, Diego Schissi, Gonzalo Grau, Guillermo Klein, and Colin Jacobsen, we invite you to dream with us.

"Magos Herrera, the smoky-voiced jazz singer from Mexico, practically whispers the verses, their poetic images swirling...she gets way under the skin of the song, recalling great communicators like Edith Piaf or Billie Holiday. And she's backed by Brooklyn Rider, a string quartet of boundless imagination." –NPR
