Betsayda Machado: The Voice of Venezuela
Everyone is invited for a musical party with venerated Afro-Venezuelan folk music singer Betsayda Machado – the voice of Venezuela - and Grammy-nominated cuatro/mandolin virtuoso Jorge Glem to celebrate the start of Maestro Gustavo Dudamel's residency at Princeton University Concerts! In a program called “Aguinaldos y Parrandas,” the duo, alongside Maestro Dudamel’s colleagues Diego Álvarez on percussion and Gonzalo Teppa on bass, gives us a taste of timeless holiday traditions that are to this day celebrated throughout Latin American villages in a performance described on NPR as “one of the most joyful shows I’ve seen in years.”
This concert is one of many free events that are part of the Gustavo Dudamel Residency. For a complete listing of residency events, click here.
