A Ti te alabo

At first, it seems like a simple chant – what could be clearer: praise, gratitude, eternal light. But inside, there is a real carnival, where mountains, animals, trumpets, flutes and even everyday silence dance together. It is as if the world has stood up in unison and decided unanimously: ‘Yes, there is something to rejoice about.’

And yet there is no pathos or exaggeration. Everything seems very earthly: even doubts and shadows of mistrust turn into reasons to sing. This gives rise to a strange feeling - as if the air itself is filled with the ringing of copper plates and the whisper of water, and the heart, even if it is not ready, still jumps in time with the beat.
