Single Track

Legends, Romances and Lullabies brings together music from different eras and sensibilities, united by a shared fascination with melody, character and memory.

Spaanse Kerjakker en Rinkink (Spanish Horseplay and Hijinks) invites the listener back into the carefree world of childhood—running, playing, and inventing games in the yard, where time seemed endless, and joy came easily. The Afrikaans phrase kerjakker en rinkink evokes playful antics and lighthearted mischief, setting the tone for a piece brimming with motion and fun. Through a Spanish-influenced tango lens, the music blends spirited Latin salsa rhythms with lively harmonic turns, creating a sound world that is both nostalgic and exuberant.
