En los pueblos de mi Andalucía (Los Campanilleros) is a deeply evocative Andalusian Christmas song rooted in the popular traditions of whitewashed villages. Its origins lie in the ancient dawn processions of campanilleros, who once walked the streets singing devotional verses accompanied by small bells, tambourines, and guitars. Musically, it unfolds as a free and solemn cante—melismatic, emotionally charged, and prayer-like—yet sustained by an inner rhythmic pulse that reflects the collective heartbeat of the people. Alongside its spiritual depth, the music radiates a distinctive Andalusian luminosity: festive, clear, and alive, like sunlight reflecting off lime-washed walls in winter.

This recording is also an intimate act of remembrance. The artist recalls a grandmother who sang Los Campanilleros on Christmas Eve, gently striking wine glasses with a spoon as her own improvised bells. Through this interpretation, her voice and presence are brought back to life, along with the warmth of family gatherings and shared winters at home. It is a testament to music’s unique power—to preserve memory, revive emotion, and make present what we once believed lost.
