A celebration of the vibrant LatinX culture of the Lower East Side and the musical talents the area has nurtured, from the classical virtuoso pianist Teresa Carreño to the tango master Astor Piazzola and salsa superstar Celia Cruz.

Cuban-born Tania Leon is a Pulitzer Prize-winning composer whose music is known for its rich textures and infectious and complex rhythms, Del Caribe, soy! is dedicated to flutist Nestor Torres, and builds on his improvisatory fragments, mixing in bird calls, whistles, fragments of Latin melodies, atonal piano effects and gestures that characterize music of the Caribbean.

Featuring traditional tonality and Baroque era forms, avant-garde and aleatoric techniques, and Afro-Cuban strains, Brouwer’s stages of composition represent an eclectic sound universe. Throughout his output, his music is a kind of musical cartography and allegory of Latin America, with its most emblematic landscapes, characters, and cultures. Passages with controlled indeterminacy and extended techniques in the musical forces create fascinating textures and colorful soundscapes connected to ancient and modern Latin American literature and culture.
