On July 18, the Los Angeles Philharmonic and Music & Artistic Director Gustavo Dudamel continue their multi-GRAMMY® Award-winning Latin series on Platoon with the release of Gabriela Ortiz’s Yanga. This marks the orchestra’s third album in the label's Latin series, following the Latin GRAMMY® Award-winning Fandango (2023) and Ortiz’s triple-GRAMMY® Award-winning Revolución diamantina. (2024)
Yanga is melting pot music, brought beyond boiling point ... Everything on this album testifies to Ortiz's artistry and strength of purpose, the LA Phil's luster, and Dudamel's skill in shaping and sustaining music's most exotic tapestries.
-Geoff Brown, The Times
This album includes Ortiz’s new cello concerto Dzonot, which was commissioned by the LA Phil, and written for cellist Alisa Weilerstein, who gave the premiere last season. Gustavo Dudamel, a champion of Gabriela Ortiz’s work says "Yanga powerfully symbolizes the strength and resilience of those who fight for freedom, and offers a reminder of the enduring struggle against oppression that continues to this day. Through a rich blend of African instruments, traditional chants, and Afro-Latin rhythms, Ortiz crafts a soundscape that captures the spirit of resistance. Alongside her haunting, otherworldly Dzonot and her rhythmically arresting Seis piezas a Violeta, this is music that resonates with the rhythms of culture, nature, and humanity.”
