¡exquisición! is a Swiss ensemble at the interface between jazz, folk music and contemporary music.
Wind instruments and percussion take us back to the origins of music: voice and rhythm. This archaism of sound opens up a multitude of possibilities in terms of freedom of play and interaction.
Starting from a primitive and simple aesthetic, the music project ¡exquisición! tries to build a bridge between traditional and secular music. The knowledge of ancient musical cultures is incorporated and the myths of the Alps serve as a source of inspiration for the ensemble's music.
The CD "Conquistador" was recorded in summer 2020.
It was released in May 2021 on the Unit records label.
Project supported by MusiquePro of the Service for Culture of the State of Valais.
