TO SING A RIVER/PARA CANTARLE AL RIO
Correo Aéreo was commissioned to create a new work for the Seattle International Childrens Festival which took place in May 2005. Internationaly acclaimed Latin American Music Duo Coreo Aéreo brings the stage to vivid life with the world premier OF "TO SING A RIVER/PARA CANTARLE AL RIO". Commissioned by the Seattle International Childrens Festival, Correo Aéreo braids together the streams of live original cinematic and traditional and original music of Latin America performed with stunning film imagery and poetic word by an ensemble of world class musicians led by the multi instrumental and vocal magic of Correo Aéreo.

"TO SING A RIVER" will take children and adult audiences alike on a lush and sumptuous journey that begins its flow on the endangered Amazon river in Peru and travels deep into the heart of nature to share in the joyful lives of the children of the Shipibo Konibo river people. Between film/live music sequences, "TO SING A RIVER" seamlessly blends color, sound, poetry, and musical traditions of other Latin American peoples as we discover all that a river can be. Rivers of culture, rivers of lineage, rivers of leaping fish, rivers of joy and pain, rivers of labor, rivers of song: Rivers like the veins that run through us all. Let yourself be immersed in these waters of life. The Shaman's song that floats out of the dark night calls us to recieve the gifts!

"TO SING A RIVER" features scenes from the documentary film "SHIPIBO KONIBO" by Dutch film maker Willem Malten, narrated by Gene Hackman with live musical performance of the soundtrack, originally composed and performed for the film by Correo Aereo. "TO SING A RIVER/PARA CANTARLE AL RIO" presents all music lyrics sung in Spanish. Poetic word in English/Spanish.

There will also be a special showing of the entire film, "SHIPIBO KONIBO", on Sat. May 14 at 2 PM with a talk with the film maker. The venue will be the Seattle Center Opera House, Macaw Hall, in the Nesholm Theatre in Seattle.
