On the first Thursday of every month during the academic year, the Center for Music of the Americas is delighted to present our World Music First Thursdays concert series in partnership with Blue Tavern, Midtown Tallahassee's favorite neighborhood joint.
In October, CMA and BT are delighted to welcome Peruvian singer, guitarist, and charango player Cecilia Bohorquez for her first Tallahassee appearance. Cecilia's expertise ranges from opera to Andean folklore to avant garde world fusion. For more than a decade she has been a member of the renowned Peruvian ensemble Inka, has sung with the Michigan Opera Theatre and Andrea Bocelli, and was soprano soloist in Chilean composer Joakin Bello's Quechwa-language "Ofrenda de los Andes por la Paz". In this special concert, joined by members of the FSU Andean Ensemble, Cecilia will take us on a journey throughout the Andes and Latin America, exploring genres such as danzón, zamba, bolero, and more.
As always, cover charge is a nominal $5, and Blue Tavern will be serving its justifiably renowned filé gumbo, red beans and rice, sandwiches (including vegetarian and vegan options) and a variety of beer, wine, coffee, tea, and soft drinks. Hope to see you there!
