Beyond the Border
Stories of the Latin World
with
Alfredo Muro
Lynn Darroch’s narratives about musicians, authors, school teachers and immigrant children are set to music performed live and arranged by guitarist Alfredo Muro — an internationally touring master of multiple Latin styles - and, on their recent CD, accompanied by percussionist Dave Fischer.
These lively stories present well-known artists — such as the salsa star/actor Ruben Blades and Cuban guitarist Eliades Ochoa — as well as ordinary people in carefully arranged performances featuring music of the culture to which the subject belongs, including Afro-Peruvian, Brazilian, Mexican and Afro-Cuban styles.
You’ll also hear biographical and cultural information in addition to dramatic interactions with the subjects.
