The Cancionero de la Colombina is one of Seville's treasures. Manufactured in the palace of the Dukes of Medina Sidonia in the 15th century, the songbook was acquired in 1534 by bibliophile Hernando Colón, son of Christopher Columbus. Fahmi Alqhai, with his singers and instrumentalists, takes the lead in a blistering rediscovery of this sublime music, once the daily bread of the phenomenal ducal chapel.
