LADAMA – Canceled

¡Viva el Arte de Santa Barbara!’s Las Cafeteras performances canceled in accordance with the California Department of Public Health’s updated policy on gatherings

We have been carefully following the rapidly-changing news about the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). Governor Gavin Newsom announced that California public health officials issued an updated policy on large gatherings to protect public health and slow the spread of COVID-19. The state’s public health experts have determined that large gatherings should be postponed or canceled across the state at this time.

We make this decision with the safety and health of our community as our top priority. The well-being of our audience, artists, staff, and community is paramount during this time, and we hope these actions will make a meaningful difference as we all face this together.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

LADAMA is a group of four women – all virtuosic musicians and educators – from Chile, Columbia, Brazil and the U.S. LADAMA delivers an utterly unique musical experience, flowing from the electric to the acoustic, from Spanish to English and Portuguese, from the high plains of Venezuela to the Colombian coast. With powerful vocals, and a mix of traditional and modern instruments, LADAMA proves that borders are meaningless, transporting us to a future where the world communicates across continents and cultures through sound and story.
