Healing and Resistance Through the Female Voice: Facets of the Dark Madonna with Bronx Music Heritage Center

The Dark Madonna, la Magdalena, La Dominadora (Santa Marta)–these are just some of the names she is called throughout Europe and across the waters in Latin America. An inspiration for artists and musicians, she has been a healing presence for some, for others a symbol of resistance and voice for the oppressed. This program will feature artists who have been inspired by her or her historical and mythological sisters to create: featuring vocalist and percussionist Alessandra Belloni; vocalist and songwriter Raquel Rivera; vocalist and songwriter Maria Terrero; visual artist Tanya Torres.

Presented by the Bronx Music Heritage Center.
