Revolución diamantina is the first full album of orchestral works by Mexican composer Gabriela Ortiz. As the composer for some of the most intense and arresting music of our time, Ortiz’s work unites disparate worlds and lives through a compelling rhythmic drive, a street-born authenticity, and a vivid sense of color.Performed by the Los Angeles Philharmonic and Music & Artistic Director Gustavo Dudamel, this new album includes three works: Altar de cuerda, Ortiz’s new violin concerto performed by María Dueñas; the striking Kauyumari; and the epic Revolución diamantina featuring the Los Angeles Master Chorale.

In Altar de cuerda, Ortiz blends tradition and the modern world in an imaginary architecture of Mayan civilization and art deco. Part of the composer’s Altars series, it was written for Andalusian violinist María Dueñas, a frequent collaborator with the Los Angeles Philharmonic.

Kauyumari was commissioned to reflect on the return to the stage following the global disruption of the Covid-19 pandemic. This complex study of melody, accompaniment, and rhythm explores life’s interruptions while serving as, in the composer describes words, “a comprehension and celebration of the fact that each of these rifts is also a new beginning.”

Revolución diamantina is a powerful new ballet score, inspired by Mexico’s 2019 “Glitter Revolution,” the feminist uprising around the country’s epidemic of violence against women. The increase in femicide was a catalyst for this mobilization – and the name stems from an event during which protesters threw pink glitter at Mexico City’s chief of police, denouncing the department’s lack of response following the rape of a woman by local officers.

“Gabriela Ortiz’s music speaks to both the body and the spirit, full of visceral primeval rhythms and mysterious, soulful sound-worlds,” says Gustavo Dudamel. “It has long been a dream of mine to dedicate an album entirely to her music. And now … we have made that dream a reality.”
