LATINO ARTS GROUPS IN RESIDENCE

Los Bohemios Perdidos (Javier Jara and Carlos Ufret) seek to celebrate and showcase the diversity and richness of Latin American folk music through a series of concerts, workshops and an oral history project translated into music. Both Carlos and Javier are bilingual (Spanish and English) musicians and educators with extensive performing and teaching experience. Their classical training and experience as folk musicians, allows them to seamlessly navigate between these two worlds, and provides them with a wide array of repertoire that appeals to a diverse audience. Further info can be found at www.javierjara.net
