from El Huerfanito / The Orphan A traditional Mexican huapango It’s the most precious pearl / The mother over the earth The mother over the earth / Is the most precious pearl It’s a very painful sorrow / For the one that doesn’t have one Where are you, loving mother? / Who could give you life again?”

Herida Abierta De Las Frontera - Corrido, by Abel Rocha Vivo la agonia de la espera En esta fria prision Sin mi mama y mi papa Se muere mi corazon Las luces siempre encendidas Que me prohiben dormir Con lo que llaman comida Milagro es sobrevivir Soy un nino en desamparo De mis padres separado Vivo en mi ser el abuso Sin ternura vivo yo, condenado En pleno siglo veintiuno Mas de cien anos cantando Sigue el Corrido cantando Mil penas e infortunios Canto a la Revolucion Y al pueblo trabajador Los que mueren en la raya De hambre, frio o de calor Vuela vuela palomita Vuela y cruza la frontera Ve y dile al que no lo entienda Que es duro, dejar tu tierra En Guatemala y Honduras Aun Mexico y Salvador Donde no se vive paz Y solo reina el terror Democracias destruidas Intervencuon militar Crimen organizado Solo quedan inmigrantes Y miles de refugiados Sueno mi America libre Y no un sueno americano Y condenado a la huida Sin ningun Derecho Humano Senores ya me despido Cantando esta cancion Hay quienes viven tragedias Y quienes cantan su horror Vuela vuela gorrioncillo Vuela para aquella higuera Esto va para los niños Que lloran en la Frontera.

I’m the quiet flight of a butterfly of peace I’m starlight capable to fulfill your wish Light of a star I am I’ll bring you to the dream time

Take it on down when you drop your gown No longer frown cuz you’re no longer bound You heare your spirit sounding, leaping and bounding You feel it rounding the corner Your former dormer is now unfolding The golden chair is now rolling Lolling and tolling, doling and holy

about

Two powerful ensembles joined forces in Seattle Washington to research and create the history of the role of women in culture. Written and directed by Madeleine Sosin, MUJER O BRUJA? takes us on a journey, inspired by partnership societies of the Paleolithic Era, revealing the advent of the Dominator Systems and organized religion, and looking towards a balanced future.

The sextet collaborated with digital technologist Jing ‘Jude’ Dai, who created and projected images at the world premiere at the Chapel Performance Space at the Good Shepherd Center in Seattle in October 22 and 23, 2021. The ensemble went on to record and mix the audio at Stone Gossard’s Studio LITHO in Seattle.
