Ley Line
Presented in partnership with the House of Songs, come spend an evening with Ley Line, four voices coalesced and rooted in rhythm. Raised on the North American traditions of blues, folk, and soul and inspired by their world travels, the four women of Ley Line transcend genres and languages. Ley Line creates a global soundscape, blending influences from Brazil, Latin America, and West Africa. Dynamic harmonies run like a current through textures of stand-up bass, guitar, ukulele, and world percussion. With strong ties to world folklore traditions, Ley Line’s multilingual compositions evoke the beauty of the human experience through our connection to nature and each other, a perfect fit for the Forest Concert Series!
Opener: Voces Divinas
Originally from Mexico, Julieta and Azucena began as a duet in the Washington DC metropolitan area performing regional Mexican genre music focused on mariachi for many years, recording three albums. After recording their fourth production on the Pedro Rivera label Cintas Acuario, they began to produce their first unpublished album, but this time with compositions written by themselves in the Sierreño genre. In that album, they introduced a new musical fusion of Bachata Sierreña and Rock and Roll Sierreño that had great public reception.Their performing skills and versatility make their concerts an experience full of emotions and joy.
