It’s the most precious pearl / The mother over the earth The mother over the earth / Is the most precious pearl It’s a very painful sorrow / For the one that doesn’t have one Where are you, loving mother? / Who could give you life again?”

Vivo la agonia de la espera En esta fria prision Sin mi mama y mi papa Se muere mi corazon Las luces siempre encendidas Que me prohiben dormir Con lo que llaman comida Milagro es sobrevivir Soy un nino en desamparo De mis padres separado Vivo en mi ser el abuso Sin ternura vivo yo, condenado En pleno siglo veintiuno Mas de cien anos cantando Sigue el Corrido cantando Mil penas e infortunios Canto a la Revolucion Y al pueblo trabajador Los que mueren en la raya De hambre, frio o de calor Vuela vuela palomita Vuela y cruza la frontera Ve y dile al que no lo entienda Que es duro, dejar tu tierra En Guatemala y Honduras Aun Mexico y Salvador Donde no se vive paz Y solo reina el terror Democracias destruidas Intervencuon militar Crimen organizado Solo quedan inmigrantes Y miles de refugiados Sueno mi America libre Y no un sueno americano Y condenado a la huida Sin ningun Derecho Humano Senores ya me despido Cantando esta cancion Hay quienes viven tragedias Y quienes cantan su horror Vuela vuela gorrioncillo Vuela para aquella higuera Esto va para los niños Que lloran en la Frontera.

Take it on down when you drop your gown No longer frown cuz you’re no longer bound You hear your spirit sounding, leaping and bounding You feel it rounding the corner Your former dormer is now unfolding The golden chair is now rolling Lolling and tolling, doling and holy

about

Based in New York, Seattle, and Eau Claire, the Tiptons perform original compositions and arrangements of world music on saxes, clarinet, voices and drums/percussion. With music that covers musical territory from New Orleans “second – line” to jazz, Afro-Cuban to Balkan, Klezmer and beyond, the Tiptons create some of the wildest sounds ever to come out of a sax quartet.

During the worldwide COVID-19 Pandemic, two powerful music ensembles and a digital technologist joined forces to create a multimedia project based on research of the role of women in Mexican and Latin American culture through story and song. That research led director Madeleine Sosin to hone a story asking deeper questions.

Inspired by The Chalice and the Blade by archaeologist Riane Eisler, ¿Mujer o Bruja? (Woman or Witch?) was created by a stellar crew: The Tiptons Sax Quartet (AD, Jessica Lurie, Sue Orfield, Tina Richerson with percussionist Elizabeth Pupo Walker), Latin American music duo Correo Aéreo (Abel Rocha and Madeleine Sosin) and creative technologist Jing ‘Jude’ Dai. After a year of video conferencing, the group met in Seattle in October, 2021 to hone, finalize and present the piece. It was featured at the Earshot Jazz Festival, and co-sponsored by Non-Sequitur. The ensemble went on to record and mix the audio at Stone Gossard’s Studio LITHO in Seattle.

¿Mujer o Bruja? was made possible with the support of a great tech crew, Nonsequitur, Earshot Jazz Festival, On The Boards, 4Culture, and a generous grant from Jazz Road, a national initiative of South Arts, which is funded by the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation with additional support from Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Rehearsal support: Seattle Drum School & Kenyon Hall.
