La Colombina

La Colombina is a vibrant early music vocal ensemble known for diving deep into the rich sounds of Renaissance Spain and its global influences. Named after the iconic dove symbol (and possibly nodding to a 15th-century Spanish songbook), this group brings to life the works of composers like Francisco Guerrero and Tomás Luis de Victoria with scholarly precision and warm, earthy energy. Their recent releases, like *Guerrero: Canciones y villanescas* and *De Victoria: Ad vesperas*, showcase their knack for balancing sacred polyphony with secular folk flair, while *Christmas in Spain & Mexico* highlights their curiosity for cross-cultural musical traditions. Whether reviving intricate *ensaladas* (Renaissance “musical salads”) or exploring devotional works, La Colombina’s performances feel both historically informed and refreshingly alive.
