espiritu mexicano with cascada de flores Friday, April 26 7-8:30pm |
Arwen Laurence and her husband Jorge — a.k.a. Cascada de Flores — offered such a tremendous evening of music last time they were at MYoga, we have invited them have them back to usher in the week of Cinco de Mayo. In this joyous and masterful presentation, Arwen and Jorge present the Mexican spirit through song and lore
The folk songs of the Mexican people express the pain of conquests, death, love and life with a characteristic candor, playfulness and delightful inventiveness. The songs reflect a culture that has been shattered and melded repeatedly, adapting to and absorbing the torrent of foreign influences that has flowed through it’s borders throughout the centuries. Join Arwen for this interactive evening that will have you singing along with the love ballads, corridos and traditional son of our southern neighbors.
Arwen Lawrence is vocalist, dancer, and player of traditional Mexican rhythm guitars whose special attention to poetry, emotion and phrasing has won her acclaim as one of the favorite interpreters of Mexican song and bolero of her contemporaries. The Los Angeles Times declared her song as "one of the most authentic moments of the evening, performed with such loving purity that it stayed with the audience long after the curtain fell." www.cascadadeflores.com/Arwen.html
