ORGAZ: ‘Alzo aquí’ by Coro Nur

On May 11, Coro Nur (light, in Arabic), founded by great conductor José Manuel López Blanco, sings in public for the first time my piece Alzo aquí, dedicated to José Manuel to accompany him in his transit of leaving the body. Lyrics are created by Mayan shaman Gustavo Pineda, from El Salvador, and are an invocation to natural forces.

It’s very emotional for me that his contemporary music chorus, his big project, sings this special piece. I can’t be there in person, but I will in soul.

You can listen to the piece, sang by the Young People’s Chorus of Madrid, in this link.

MADRID: ‘Alzo aquí’ by Coro Nur

Inspired piece Alzo aquí, created on a poem by Mayan shaman Gustavo Pineda and dedicated to José Manuel López Blanco, will be sung by the second time by Coro Nur, the group that José Manuel formed some years ago, and his main project.
