Cultural Event (Coming in November) – LADAMA

7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 19 | Centrum, Knutson Campus Center

An ensemble of women musicians from across the Americas strive to engage youth in the process of music making, composition, and audio production through performance and workshops. With rhythm and percussion driving their original compositions sung in Spanish, Portuguese and English, the ensemble combines disparate, traditional roots music with pop. The result is a sonic experience viewing the future as a world that communicates across continents and cultures. Their workshops speak to both the power of words from an artistic/human point of view and also the issue of freedom of speech as experienced by each of them, women activists in four different countries who have faced very different challenges. Workshop details TBA. Visit ConcordiaCollege.edu/culturalevents for more information.
