Sonetos de Amor Oscuro Live Show

Daniel de Jesús presents a mesmerizing live concert experience with three virtuoso cellists! The music enwraps you in the haunting melodies of "Sonetos de Amor Oscuro" as we delve deep into the poetic world of Federico García Lorca, rising from a watery grave to recount a forbidden love amidst the turmoil of civil war.

Prepare to be immersed in "The Sonnets of Dark Love," a sonic journey retracing the secret affair between Lorca and Juan Ramírez de Lucas. Through the skillful strokes of the cellists' strings, you will feel the emotional waves, both sympathetic and jarring, resonating with the pain of unrequited love, a desire so unwavering, yet seemingly distant.

This album is an unearthly exploration of unrequited queer love, palpable in every note, as if Lorca's spirit hovers among us. The cellos' voices intertwine, speaking directly to the depths of our souls, evoking a sense of longing and authenticity that transcends time.

Tonight's performance was born from a profound collaboration with the talented artist David Antonio Cruz. His intimate connection with the duende and the legacy of Federico García Lorca has left an indelible mark on our musical lives since 2016. And from this bright and fruitful artistic bond emerged the inspiration to transform Lorca's poignant sonnets into this extraordinary album.

As the cellos resonate, you will be transported into Lorca's enigmatic world—a world that is mysterious, cheeky, humorous, and, ultimately, tragic. Tonight, we invite you to connect with Lorca's profound "longing" and his yearning for love, a desire that echoes in each of our hearts, longing for the embrace of our authentic selves.

So, get ready to be moved, enchanted, and mesmerized as we embark on this musical odyssey of "Sonetos de Amor Oscuro." Let the power of three cellos and Lorca's timeless poetry wash over you like a tidal wave of emotions. The journey awaits!

Musicians: Daniel de Jesús, Mel Hsu, and Carolina Diazgranados
