MOCHA SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA Works a musical piece with the “Mocha Band” afro-ecuadorian musical group slave’s descendent that have the particularity of using as musical instruments elements extracted from nature as a leave of a “capulí’s” tree or bitter orange’s tree or the “puro” that is a kinf of cut pumpkin or “mochada”- the group took its name thanks to that-, that imitate occidental instrument’s sounds.
I interpret, with the accompaniment of “Mocha Band”, the aria “Lascia ch’io pianga” of Hämdel, baroque musical theme that refers to liberty. Singed in Spanish, the dissonant aria translate us into a game with history and now-a-days reality, the musical band that is about to disappear.
