Ladama is an ensemble of women from across the Americas who produce and perform original work while engaging youth in the act of music-making. With rhythm and percussion driving their original compositions, they sing in Spanish, Portuguese and English they combine disparate, traditional roots music with pop. The result is a sonic experience through which we can view our future as a world that communicates across continents and cultures, with sound and story.
