KING MANGOBERRY Music of Ricardo Lorenz
Michigan State University Wind Symphony
Kevin L. Sedatole, Director
Manuel Alejandro Rangel, Maracas
At once sincere, cryptic, poignant, and raw, this collection of works celebrates the artistic symbiosis between composer and performer. King Mangoberry challenges us to celebrate an identity different from our own while questioning the very notion of identify itself. Pataruco teaches us to reimagine the possibilities of an instrument we think we know. El Muro builds, and subsequently tears down, walls.
