Elcano - Ghost Of Christmas (official Lyric Video)

Описание: Elcano - Ghost Of Christmas


The experiences of Fernando Magellan and Juan Sebastián Elcano during the first circumnavigation of the world (1519-1522) are at the heart of Elcano’s lyrics.
“Ghost Of Christmas” brings together Charles Dickens’ three ghosts of Christmas and chronicles the progress of the real-life crew on their journey:
In December 1519, the five ships sailed along the Brazilian coastline and did trade with the peoples of the local tribes.
By the end of December 1520, three of the ships had negotiated the Strait of Magellan and were about to spend month upon month on the endless Pacific Ocean without any fresh supplies.
Just days before Christmas 1521, solely the carrack Victoria, richly laden with cloves and other spices, set out from the Philippines in westward direction, either to reach the safety of Seville half a world away or to be intercepted and punished by the Portuguese fleet.
