Rumbarroco is on a musical mission: to show the European influence on Afro-American and indigenous music in Latin America, as well as how the fusion of those types of music with European classical music produced new musical genres.

This Saturday, May 6, they will give a concert called Latinas: Music by Latin American Women Composers & Arrangers that presents women composers, arrangers and writers in different historical periods as well as different music styles; Early Music, inter-related with folk, academic, and popular music. The unifying thread: a woman composed, wrote the lyrics, or arranged each piece. With a special emphasis on Mexico and featuring music of Anonymous, Teodora Ginés, Modesta Bor, Diana Arismendi, and others.

 

Latinas: Music by Latin American Women Composers & Arrangers takes place at the United Parish in Brookline. Showtime is 7 PM. Tickets are $5-$35
