Natalia Contesse CANCELED

An Evening of Chilean Folklore and Song

Natalia Contesse is a singer/songwriter who works in the tradition of Chilean “cantoras” – women who tell stories through song. Natalia weaves a variety of influences into the fabric of her music: the folklore of her native Chile, the rhythms of the Cueca (a traditional style of folk music and dance), and the wisdom of Chilean proverbs. In her latest release, Corra La Voz, she pays particular homage to the iconic folk singer of the 1950s and 1960s, Violetta Parra. With a dynamic guitar and vocal style that is at once dulcet and full of raw power, Natalia sings of memory and identity, of traveling through life and the knowledge that one gathers along the way. Her lyrics poetically convey an urgency and a sensitivity to the challenges that humanity faces, but with a sense of wonder and gratitude that resides close behind. Natalia will be joined by members of Duamuxa, a Chilean group based in the Bay Area, whose original compositions are inspired by the diverse musical offerings of the Southern Cone and the United States. They will intersperse their own unique flavor into Natalia’s set for a vivacious evening of South American folklore and song.
