You don’t hear a lot of drums in liturgical music of the baroque period. But in central and south America, where Spanish and Portuguese conquerors had colonized large regions and imposed Roman Catholicism on the populations, church music inevitably took on something of a different character from what was heard in Europe, and you hear that clearly on this collection of works by transplant and native composers including Gaspar Fernandes, Manuel de Zumaya, and Domenico Zipoli. It’s fascinating and beautifully performed by the Ex Cathedra ensemble.
