Singers of Animas

Original title Ánimas, los Cantadores de Arbejales

[mlsid]

Once a year, for centuries, the Ranchos de Animas of Arbejales and Valsequillo gather in the rural neighbourhood of Madrelagua (Canary Islands) to pray, singing for the souls in purgatory and summoning around them a cathartic environment typical of another age. Almsgiving makes singing into an invisible thread between the world of the living and the memory of the dead. These Canarian Cantadores are among the last of their kind in Europe.
