Lara Manzanares is an award-winning bilingual singer-songwriter of Northern New Mexican heritage. In addition to singing the Mexican boleros, rancheras, and corridos of her sheep-ranching childhood, Lara also composes her own style of music in both English and Spanish. Through a combination of storytelling and songs both playful and sincere, Lara draws on her rural New Mexican roots and her urban experiences across the U.S. and abroad as she sings about love, loss, a sense of place, and her own connection to the land.  Lara will be joined by Tanya Nuñez from Lone Piñon (and many bands!) on upright bass and Kateri Lopez from The Roswells on guitar and vocals.

The New Mexican Marimba Band performs on an authentic Mexican Marimba featuring the music of Steve Chavez, who is a teacher, screenwriter, composer/arranger, and collector of 38 Marimbas from around the world. Steve was a member of the NM Symphony, Chamber Orchestra of Albuquerque and Santa Fe Pro Musica. He has composed/arranged nine Concerti for Marimba and Orchestra and over 70 works for Marimbas, Steel-Drums, Latin-Jazz, pop, country, and religious.
