Pappa Tarahumara @ BAM

Friday, November 30th...

VIEW

...immediately following class at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. BAM!

This is from the company's website:

What's in the name?

There is an area in Mexico called "the Land of Tarahumara".
This region, located in the mountains, is well off the beaten track, and a fascinating place known for its culture and local customs. The decision to name the group after the Tarahumara Indians reflects our respect and fascination we feel for them.

However, we have not directly incorporated Tarahumara culture as such into our pieces.
What we have aimed for is to try somehow to capture and present the special wonder of Tarahumara culture, inexpressible and uninterpretable in modern rationalistic terms.
Check out their website at www.pappa-tara.com. This is the BAM event page for Pappa.

See you in class on Friday....
