Today he woke up weird,

Confused, disturbed...

He doesn't know very well what he feels..."

Surunyo Gang

Portugal and Spain were the stage, during the 16th and 17th centuries, of one of the most remarkable eras of poetic and musical production in the history of European culture. The documentary sources that have come down to us provide a vision of extraordinary dynamism in the circulation and sharing of music in the Iberian world through diversified networks of institutional and personal relationships (through chapel masters, poets, musicians and even kings). In this fervent context, the chapel masters (the composers of the time) produced a vast amount of music for the most important feasts (religious and civil). Unfortunately, most of this extraordinary repertoire did not resist the hardships of time and is lost today. The music from the time of the foundation of the municipality of Esposende fits, unfortunately, in this category. It is possible, however, to have an idea of the music that would accompany an occasion of such importance. Resorting to diverse Portuguese and Spanish sources, the Bando do Surunyo has gathered a set of works chronologically and aesthetically very close to those that were actually heard in Esposende and in the region. These works combine devotion, poetry, feast and theatre, in a sound trip that, joining history and imagination, tries to give a glimpse of the solemnities that would mark the royal charter of 1572.
