Independent Music

CantarÃ© artists Patricia Vergara of Brazil and Cecilia Esquivel of Argentina introduce audiences to the beautiful songs and rhythms of Latin America in an exciting interactive performance.

Drawing from the musical heritage of the Caribbean, Central and South America, CantarÃ© performs songs in Spanish and Portuguese, while sharing the music's cultural and historical background. Audiences learn about the history of Latin America and the different cultures that shaped their music - Native American, European and African - while becoming familiar with the language, rhythms and musical instruments from the different countries.

The music of CantarÃ© communicates the inter-dependency of people and cultures and the rich fusion that results when diverse traditions come together.

This musical compilation is from the book ArrorrÃ³, mi niÃ±o: Latino Lullabies and Gentle Games, selected and illustrated by Lulu Delacre. The book has received many strong reviews and awards including the Pura BelprÃ© Illustrator Award Honor. A full listing of awards and honors can be found at leeandlow.com/books/nino.html
