A collaboration album between recording artist and arranger Van Dyke Parks and harpist and poet Verónica Valerio.
This record is a Chamber-music Suite of Songs of the Yucatan, featuring the poetry of Verónica Valerio and orchestrated by Van Dyke Parks. Starting with a new arrangement of Agustin Lara’s classic “Veracruz,” the album transports us to “a place of pyramids and pre-Collumbian history” following that place and time with three originals by Verónica Valerio called “Cielito Lindo,” “The Flight of the Guacamaya,” and “Camino a casa.”
