LADAMA
Comprised of virtuosic musicians, composers, and educators — Lara Klaus, Daniela Serna and Mafer Bandola — LADAMA are sisters in song and spirit. Harnessing music from their respective countries of origin — Brazil, Colombia and Venezuela — the group utilizes traditional and non-traditional instruments from across the Americas to create a rich Latin Alternative music, which bends folkloric forms with a modern twist. Their music has been described by NPR as having "irresistible spirit and universal appeal."
LADAMA met on the road in 2014 while touring Los Angeles, Arizona, and New Mexico as part of the prestigious OneBeat Program. Between individual performances, leading youth workshops and public music-making events, Lara, Daniela and Mafer uncovered a common dream of building communities through sound and empowering women and youth through music. LADAMA delivers an utterly unique experience as they flow from the electric to the acoustic, from Spanish to English and Portuguese, and from the high plains of Venezuela to the Colombian coast. Their art proves that borders are meaningless, transporting us to a future where the world communicates across continents and cultures through sound and story.

LAs guaracheras
Las Guaracheras is an all-women salsa sextet born in the city of Cali, Colombia in 2017.
The ensemble´s cultural and artistic objective is to uplift a female voice within Afro-Latin music and build a more inclusive, diverse and respectful cultural space for all.
Their music communicates joy, memory and transformation. With vibraphone, percussion, bass, piano and vocals, Las Guaracheras present an explosive show that provokes dancing, singing as well as reflection.
This engagement of LAS GUARACHERAS is made possible in part through the Performing Arts Global Exchange program of Mid Atlantic Arts with support from the National Endowment for the Arts.
