A family-friendly Latin dance party with one of Colombia’s most treasured singers!
Hailing from the Colombian Pacific coast — a South American region where African grooves and indigenous rhythms fill the air — Nidia Góngora is LOH’s Spring 2026 artist-in-residence.
The Latin Grammy-nominated artist’s music blends ancestral rhythms with contemporary sounds, evoking the thunderous powers that inhabit the jungle and the sea.
Prof. Góngora holds a degree in Early Childhood Education and is a researcher of traditional music. For the past 12 years, she has been conducting musical training with children in both school and community settings through the Fundación Escuela Canalón.
While in the Upper Valley from April 6-9, Góngora will share the rich cultural traditions of her homeland (whose music has been declared an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO) with students, elders, and young musicians.
Registration is encouraged. Please consider adding a suggested donation of $15 per ticket to your order; your support will help us offer more barrier-free cultural events in the future.
