Sabor y Memoria (Flavor and Memory) touches on issues of memory and nostalgia for one’s home country, immigration, hunger, cooking, and of course, chocolate! Everyone will want a taste!

Sabor y Memoria: a Musical Feast in Seven Courses is a suite for Sol y Canto and a string quartet consisting of seven songs in various Latin rhythms.

Brian Amador, Sol y Canto co-founder, received a fellowship to the MacDowell Colony last winter to compose part of it with lyrics addressing several different food-related topics: the need for real food rather than "fas fud," as Brian calls it, the ties to our ancestors that make themselves apparent as we cook, and the power of food to evoke memories.

Sol y Canto is the nationally-touring and Boston Music Award winning Pan-Latin ensemble led by Puerto Rican/Argentine singer and bongo player Rosi Amador and New Mexican guitarist and composer Brian Amador. Featuring Rosi's crystalline voice, Brian's lush Spanish guitar, and virtuoso musicians from Uruguay, Perú, Panamá and Argentina on piano, winds, bass, and percussion, the sextet has established a reputation for their quirky original compositions that address matters of the heart, social and global aspiration, and for their unique and driving interpretations of contemporary Latin music.
