October
27, 2004 - Putumayo Presents "Latinas: Women of Latin
America"
Hear Latinas: Women of Latin America
pay tribute to the music of their homelands at the Thalian
Hall Center for the Performing Arts on  Wednesday,
October 27 at 8:00 p.m. This is the second event of UNCW¡¯s
seven-part Arts in Action Performance Series and is co-presented
with Thalian Hall. Women
have long played an essential role in the music life
of Latin America. Theirs are the voices that carry tradition,
through lullabies sung to sleepy children, or tunes
brought forth during times of celebration. From generation
to generation, women have helped serve as the collective
memory of Latin American music culture. Featured at
this performance are Totš® La Momposina of Colombia,
Mariana Montalvo of Chile, and Bel? Velloso of Brazil.
¡°The love these
women have for their cultures is inspiring,¡± said Shannon
Hooker, Assistant Director for Programs and Marketing,
University Union. |
