LADAMA

Wisconsin Union Theater welcomes two female-led, genre-bending acts as part of its Women of the World series. Using instruments of the son jarocho Mexican regional style and bringing Latin roots music into the present, Las Cafeteras of Los Angeles tell modern day stories in both English and Spanish. LADAMA is composed of four women from Brazil, Colombia, Venezuela and the U.S., and each pull from and mix together their respective heritages in scintillating ways.

press release: Born and raised east of the Los Angeles River, Las Cafeteras are remixing roots music and telling modern day stories. Using traditional Son Jarocho instruments like the jarana, requinto, quijada (donkey jawbone) and tarima (a wooden platform), Las Cafeteras sing in English, Spanish, and Spanglish and add a remix of sounds, from rock to hip-hop to rancheras.

LADAMA is a group of four women, virtuosic musicians, and educators—Lara Klaus, Daniela Serna, Mafer Bandola and Sara Lucas—each from a different country and culture of the Americas, who are sisters in song, rhythm and spirit. Harnessing music from their respective countries of origin—Brazil, Colombia, Venezuela and the United States, the group utilizes traditional and non-traditional instruments from across the Americas, but with a modern twist, to produce Latin Alternative music. 

Centro Hispano of Dane County (Centro) has been offered an exceptional opportunity to take the annual Evening of Dreaming to the Wisconsin Union Theater this year for a concert with world-renowned bands Las Cafeteras and LADAMA!
