About two hundred million years ago, our planet was one unique and gigantic continent: Pangea. It began to progressively spread through the seas, and over time it resulted in the different continents we know today.
Recorded at Abbey Road Studios in London, PANGEA, the new album of composer and multi-instrumentalist Abraham Cupeiro, is a musical trip through the different continents of our planet, bringing us closer to a great variety of cultures and sounds, through Abraham Cupeiro and María Ruiz´s own compositions.
Abraham, accompanied by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, take us to fascinating places inhabited by captivating sounds and melodies: from the Southern Oceania with the echoes of their shells, to the mysterious Chinese mountains drawn by the beautiful melodies of traditional instrument Hulusi, we will lie down on the Great Plains of North America, levitate on the jungles of South America, we will enjoy the sparkling coluorful Peule flute of Senegal, the Bulgarian Bagpipe, the defiant Zurna and the ancient shepherd's horns will build the path to unify our planet again.
Pangea, is in itself, a chant to the cultural diversity of our planet.
