DOROTHÉ IN THE VILLAGE

Alejandro Gándara & Olaia Tubío, 85', 2020, Spain

The Swiss musicologist Dorothé Schubarth came to Galicia in the late 1970s in search of the ancient songs that had already disappeared in central Europe. From her search came the 300 hours of recordings that make up what is considered to be the bible of traditional oral lyric: the Galician Popular Songbook, the largest compilation of traditional music in Galicia, nowadays deposited in the Museo do Pobo Galego. Forty years later, two girls set out on a journey in the footsteps of Schubarth to find the voices she collected and discover their life stories.
