Join us for a night of Música y Platíca con Lasotras, a musical collective from Albuquerque with roots all over the Americas, moderate by Enrique Cardiel.
This event, sponsored by Radical Harmonies, a Mellon Foundation Grant, is the third in a series of events, offers inspirational spaces for exploration, dialogue, and the convergence of thought and action.
As an intellectual expression and creative output, music can carry radical lyrical and rhythmic intonations that often contribute to challenging social boundaries and barriers, capturing aspirations for social freedoms among diverse communities.
