About
Accompanied by La Familia Figueroa, a Mariachi band, the classically-trained Figueroa invites listeners to join him in paying homage to the voices and musical traditions that nurtured his childhood and inspired his path.
"This recording tells the story of a family of Mexican immigrants who integrated into their new society by cordially sharing the culture of their original home," says Antonio Figueroa. "Most of these I first heard sung by people who were very dear to me, and all the songs are associated with my loved ones."
Among the songs chosen by Figueroa are Paloma Querida, composed by the celebrated songwriter Jose-Alfredo Jimenez, and Espanolerias by Agustin Lara, along with tunes that may be less familiar to listeners, such as Malaguena, Deja que salga la Luna, and El Pastor. Closest to Figueroa's heart are the songs he heard his grandfather and father sing throughout his childhood, such as Echame a mi la culpa or Diez Anos.
Originally from Montreal, Antonio Figueroa began his career with the Atelier lyrique de l'Opera de Montreal. His numerous awards include the International Vocal Art Institute's Silverman Prize, among others. His successful debut in the role of Nadir (Les Pecheurs de perles) at the Opera d'Avignon led to further European engagements with the Opera Comique, the Philharmonie de Paris, and the Capitole de Toulouse; in Liege and Lausanne; and at the Theater an der Wien. He has performed with Pacific Opera, and with opera companies in Quebec, Montreal, and Ottawa. Working with director Peter Brook, he sang the role of Tamino both in the Parisian premiere of The Magic Flute at the Theatre des Bouffes du Nord and on a world tour. After graduating from the Universite de Montreal, he returned there in 2020 to work on his doctorate.
