Ataraxia pays homage to Mexico and Latin America with new music video!

“Viriditas” is a Latin word much loved by Hildegard Von Bingen. The semantic root of the term refers to ‘viridis’ – ‘green’ from which ‘vis’ – ‘strenght’ derives, then ‘vir’ – ‘man’, ‘virgo’ – ‘maiden’, ‘ver’ – ‘springtime’, ‘virtus’ –‘ value’, ‘vita’ – ‘vital principle’. They are all words referring to an energetic principle that is inherent in nature and is trasmitted to humanity. The symbolism also refers to spiritual vigor as a green mantle wet with fruitful rain.

The video is a tribute to México and latin American friends and listeners that, along our musical journey, hosted us with warmth, affection and enthusiasm. The video is also dedicated to the mastery of Vittorio Vandelli who, everytime he picks up his classical guitar, channels and brings us sublime melodies.
