“The basket weaver Estambre and the explorer Bastilla are looking for the person to whom they must hand over the treasure of traditional Spanish songs. This metaphoric search-treasure is an excuse to ask ourselves about tradition, the things we have learned, the past: to accept, to forget, to appreciate?
With this manner of interpreting these songs, our intention is to initiate girls and boys in learning about folklore, and have them discover traditional sounds. We include well-known songs such as ‘Estaba el señor don gato’ and others that are not that popular, like ‘Nana del cestero’, and we perform them with acoustic instruments, recreating what we imagine our grandparents listened to.” Teatro de Malta
