Brava! for Women in the Arts & La Pena Cultural Center present Las Peteneras
Saturday, June 29, 2019 at 7pm
Las Peteneras is the final installment of La Pena Cultural Center's four-part concert series examining the role of women in traditional folk music and dance from Latin America and the Caribbean.
Las Peteneras opens with an enchanting call from the sirens to explore ancient voices, evoke our primal reaction to "cante hondo", the song that is deep within us, and melodic harmonies, and question our understanding of the female presence in Mexican folkloric music and dance traditions. Sones such as "La petenera", "La lloroncita", "Las poblanas" and "La bruja" weave a story that is a reflection on the timeless feminine that is embedded in our collective experience a shared memory that reaches past the limitations of our corporal beings and geographical borders all the way to our ancient past and back to our rooted present.
For this culminating event, La Pena and Brava join forces to present a one-of-a-kind music and dance concert featuring a cast of primarily Bay Area female artists, son jarocho musicians and cultural leaders.
