The Contraband
Grammy-nominated Cimarrón will perform in concert at 7 p.m. Friday, April 22, in F.G. Bulber Auditorium as part of the 2016 Banners at McNeese State University season.
From the cattle rearing Llanos Orientales region of Colombia, Cimarrón performs the festive dance music of joropo, a fiercely virtuoso display of rippling melodies and powerful rhythms, combining Andalusian, Indigenous Indian and African roots.
Led by harpist Carlos Rojas, the musicians explore and experiment with their rich heritage while retaining the essence of the tradition. The musical fireworks created by harp, bandola, cuatro, bass, cajon, maracas and high-pitched voices are simply breathtaking.
This program is made possible through Southern Exposure: Performing Arts of Latin America, a national initiative of Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts to bring contemporary and traditional performing arts from Latin America to audiences across the United States.
Tickets will be available at the door at $20 for adults, $5 for students plus a 5 percent applicable sales tax. The concert is still free to McNeese and Sowela students with ID.
