Project Overview

Join us for a performance by Mestifon?a, a Minnesota-based band that blends Colombian, Bolivian, and American talent in a unique setlist of styles from the Iberian Peninsula and South America, bringing to life the sounds of fado, flamenco, cueca, tango, bolero and more. Within the ?Latin-music? field, Mestifon?a is recognized for its vibrant and uncommon instrumentation and for creating layers of timbre and cultural fusion. This program took place at 4 locations in the LARL region on October 2 and 3, 2019.
