"ROOTS"

'Roots,' (RAICES) the first Ecuadorian concerto for guitar and orchestra was written and premiered by the composer, Ecuadorian Carlos Bonilla ChÃ¡vez, in 1987. On May 31st 1996, 'Roots' was re- premiered at the Teatro PolitÃ©cnico in Quito-Ecuador where it was performed by the classical guitarist, Fabian Carrera and the National Symphony orchestra, under the baton of Russian conductor Andrei Vasilevsky,
Capturing the essence of the Ecuadorian indigenous peoples and their music; 'Roots,' creates a unique blend of the traditional three movement concerto format to Ecuadorian: rhythms, themes and modes.
1. Allegro: A "poem" set to the Ecuadorian two-four 'sanjuan' rhythm, represents a festive atmosphere for the "cultura mestiza" (mixed race culture) and the native culture of the Andean Indian. The use of a pentatonic A-minor mode completes this auditory depiction.
