La Bohemia Productions Presents: Ampersan from Mexico City: Mexican Folk & Contemporary Classical Instrumentation With Electronic Waves

August 8, 2015 @ 7:30 pm - 10:00 pm

$12 – $15
Ampersan e1438649624321
In partnership with the Red Poppy Art House, La Bohemia Productions presents Mexico-City based group, Ampersan. Since its inception in 2007, Ampersan has been rooted in the traditional, acoustic-based music of Mexico while expanding its reach through forays into contemporary classical music and sound experimentation. Mixing pre-hispanic instruments such as clay ocarinas, colonial instruments like jaranas and violins, and African instruments such as the darbuka with the distortion of an electric guitar and synthesizers, Ampersan gathers together the feelings of peasant songs, son, psychedelic rock and electronica.


Featuring:
Zindu Cano – guitar, jarana, vocals
Kevin García – electric guitar, punteador, vocals
Héctor Aguilar – percussions
Vico Díaz – leona
Selene González – video mapping

Catch up on Ampersan’s latest updates on Facebook.
