About Me

Dentro del enorme legado musical y cultural que México ha creado a través de su historia, existe una parte que ha permanecido un tanto oculta y por consecuencia olvidada por la mayoría de la gente: la música de las zonas rurales. Desde marchas fúnebres y Huapangos hasta música de rituales y ceremonias de los diversos grupos étnicos. La música de estas zonas posee una extraña mezcla de humildad y tristeza... de solemnidad y de un sentimiento de esperanza que no se puede describir de otra manera mas que al experimentarla. Ghostly Rural Ensemble utiliza elementos sonoros y visuales del México antiguo mezclándolos con el sentimiento desolador de esta era aplicando diversas herramientas electrónicas. Pero al mismo tiempo trata de evocar esa belleza espectral y misteriosa del México antiguo. ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------------- Within the huge musical legacy that Mexico has created through its history there's a part that somehow has remained hidden and by consequence forgotten by the majority of people: the music of rural zones.

Music from rural areas have a strange mixture of humility and sadness...solemnity and a feeling of hope that cannot be described with words until it is experienced. Ghostly Rural Ensemble uses both sonorous and visual elements of ancient Mexico mixing them with the desolate feeling of this era using electronic based atmospheres. But at the same time trying to evoke the spectral beauty of old Mexico. ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------/objec
