Afrorriqueña Musical Performance

  • Portland Museum of Art 7 Congress Square Portland, ME, 04101 United States (map)

Enjoy a free performance in the Selma Wolf Black Great Hall from Fabiola Méndez and her trio!

Groundbreaking cuatro virtuoso Fabiola Méndez presents the music from her latest album "Afrorriqueña", paying tribute to the African influences in Puerto Rican culture and figures like the Jíbaro, farmers who were iconic symbols of traditional Puerto Rican country life and drove many populist political and artistic movements.  

With the Puerto Rican cuatro (5-double string traditional guitar) as a protagonist, Méndez and her trio take the listener on a journey through various styles of Afro-Caribbean genres with a hint of jazz, inspiring feelings of pride, beauty, and love for our rich cultures.
