SUMMARY:Pipiris Nights | New York Venezuelan Joropo

She is a co-founder and performer with LADAMA\, an international collective of female musicians\, and the lead producer of Latínica\, an online conference exploring Latinx identity and equity in the music industry. Through her creative practice\, she reflects on and redefines the experience of being a Latinx woman in today’s global musical landscape. \nHer latest project\, Pipiris Nights\, is New York City’s premier Venezuelan music and dance series. Hosted monthly at Terraza 7\, Pipiris Nights celebrates the vibrant oral traditions and cultural richness of joropo\, transporting the spirit of the Venezuelan plains to the heart of Brooklyn and beyond.
