Evocación (Charisse Baldoria)

Born in the Philippines, a Spanish colony for 333 years, pianist Charisse Baldoria explores her Spanish and Latin American side: “Evocación is a summoning of passion, memory, and the imagination. From Falla’s flamenco fantasy to Piazzolla’s intoxicating tangos, from Albéniz’ virtuoso portraits of Spain to Scarlatti and Buencamino’s Spanish and Argentine transformations, this album of dance and song seeks to evoke time and place, memory and experience—both real and imagined.
