Join us for a Mayan Kaqchikel folk rock show featuring Sara Curruchich of Guatemala!
The Mount Pleasant Library Friends & Electric Cowbell Productions present SARA CURRUCHICH!
Sara Curruchich is the first indigenous Guatemalan singer and songwriter to sing in Kaqchikel (her mother tongue), as well as Spanish, for an international audience. Her voice and message of love, awareness, respect and defense of life in all its forms have led many people to regard her as a beacon of light and hope.
Sara is a force to be reckoned with, not only in the world of music but also as a passionate advocate for women's rights. Through her powerful lyrics and activism, she has brought attention to the injustices faced by indigenous women and spoken out against gender-based violence and discrimination.
Sara's music is a celebration of indigenous women worldwide, and her album "Mujer Indígena" is a testament to that. With powerful messages and cultural beats, the album features collaborations with renowned artists such as Rosalina Tuyuc, Carmen Cúmez, Lila Downs, Muerdo, and Amparo Sánchez.
