“Hasme reir” (Make Me Laugh) it’s a recital program of Spanish and Spanish-American music from the “virreinal” period, played on a clavichord. Among the composers on this album we will find Doménico Zípoli, (1688-1726), Correa de Arauxo, (1584-1654), Antonio de Cabezón, (1510-1576) and Sor María Clara del Santísimo Sacramento, (1806-1861) a Mexican nun from the order of the “Concepcionistas” who wrote lots of pieces found in a book called “Cuaderno de tonos de maitines”.

Also on this recording are four pieces by unknown composers found in a book called “Sones mo órgano” discovered at San Rafael, at the “Misiones Jesuíticas de Chiquitos, Bolivia” A unique and unusual baroque music programme performed in a rare instrument. Javier Mendoza a young Mexican musician involved in historical research and historical informed playing is the perfect soloist for this music.
