I thought I’d share a little a Camino music I enjoy. The Artists name was Oliver Schroer, a Canadian Fiddler, who walked the Camino recording his music in churches as he made his way across Spain. Below is an excerpt of his biography:
His album Camino was recorded in churches along the Camino de Santiago pilgrim trail. Schroer walked 1,000 km of the trail in 2004 with his wife and two friends, carrying portable recording equipment. To save weight, he did not bring a violin case. He carried his instrument wrapped in a sleeping bag in his backpack, "like my own precious relic, carefully packed in its reliquary of socks and underwear."[3][4] The album features solo playing, occasionally against a background of local sounds such as church bells, birds, and monastic voices.[5]
