About this event

The Story of Ferdinand with Sol y Canto Sol y Canto is the award winning Pan-Latin ensemble led by Puerto Rican/Argentine singer and percussionist Rosi Amador and New Mexican guitarist, singer and composer Brian Amador. Their original songs are distinguished by poetic, often quirky lyrics set in a framework of varied musical styles with surprising twists. They will perform a selection of songs from their award-winning bilingual children’s album, “Twice as Many Friends/El Doble de Amigos”. They will also perform songs from their critically acclaimed latest albums for adults, featuring original songs in a variety of exuberant Latin rhythms, including socially conscious songs of hope and beloved Latin classic sing-alongs. In addition to their musical career, Rosi and Brian Amador are distinguished voice actors, and Brian was recognized with AudioFile’s prestigious Earphones Award for his narration of The Story of Ferdinand. This special performance will feature Brian’s narration of the story in an interactive presentation that will involve the audience. After that, the group will share selections from their award-winning recording “El Doble de Amigos (Twice as Many Friends)”, songs that the whole family will enjoy. Who You’ll Meet Sol y Canto Sol y Canto’s mission is to create music and performances that move, delight, excite and connect – connect the audience to the richness of Latin American culture; connect individuals, Hispanic and non-Hispanic, to each other through shared experience of music, poetry, humor and a joyful, playful vibe; and connect us all to our hopes and visions of a better world.
