AFRO-ANDEAN FUNK
Saturday, Oct. 3 | 7PM
Afro-Andean Funk is a New York–based, two-time Latin Grammy–nominated ensemble led by Peruvian vocalist Araceli Poma and bassist-producer Matt Geraghty. Rooted in Afro-Peruvian rhythm and Andean melody — two traditions born of oceans crossed and mountains climbed, that recognized each other in the encounter — the band performs original music in Spanish, English, and Quechua, pushed through cajón, electric bass, drums, keyboards, and horns into a sound that is at once ancient and alive.

MEET THE AUTHOR: SONIA DE LOS SANTOS “La Golondrina”

On the porch of her grandmother's home, a girl watches a migratory swallow swoop and dart, delighting in its song and imagining the journey it will make–much like the one her papá is making, and that she will soon make too. Based on her popular song, Latin Grammy nominee Sonia De Los Santos's debut picture book is a joyful celebration of home, family, and the journeys that shape our lives and communities.
