In 2012, Philip Glass journeyed into the mountains of Mexico to interact with the Wixarika people. Glass's passion to unravel the mystery of what music really is has been present throughout his entire career. He has expressed this passion through his travels around the world engaging with musicians of different ethnic and cultural backgrounds and creating new music with them. The product of the 2012 collaboration was The Concert of the Sixth Sun, with Philip Glass and the Wixarika allowed us a glimpse of their indigenous world of mystery and spiritual beauty. Musicians Daniel Medina de la Rosa and Erasmo Medina Medina are joined by the composer at the piano. This new two CD album The Spirit of the Earth delves further into the mysteries of the Wixarika culture.
