Levitt BLOC Berea May 12: Appalatin | Something Sandy at Saint Joseph Berea Hospital
May 12 @ 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm
Summer Concert Kickoff featuring: Appalatin’s foot-stomping, hip-swinging sounds organically unite Appalachian folk and high-energy Latin music. The name, Appalatin, reflects the unexpected meeting in Louisville, KY of Kentucky-raised musicians and masterful Latin émigrés from Ecuador, Nicaragua, and Guatemala. Their all-acoustic performances of traditional stings of guitar, mandolin, upright bass, and charango, indigenous Andean flutes, hand percussion, harmonica and vocal harmonies bring joy and happiness to listeners of all ages.
