Joan Soriano performs electric roots bachata from Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. What distinguishes Joan from other bachateros of his generation is his dedication to bachata’s cultural roots. Joan’s band, La Familia Soriano, is a collaboration with his two sisters and brother. Their music captures the intimacy and playfulness of their upbringing in the hills of Monte Plata, where the young Sorianos learned to dance to the rhythm of bachata in their mother’s arms.

Maria Isa presents the Latina Ritual Project, showcasing and honoring Latina women in the Twin Cities through a night of folklore to Latin contemporary music.  Isa collaborated with Adriana Rimpel of the Minneapolis rumba ensemble Malamanya this past summer, to experience and build creative reflections through songwriting during a recent adventure to Puerto Rico last summer.   

Latin urban orchestra Locos Por Juana blends the infectious music of Colombia (cumbia, champeta and vallenato) with reggae, dub and funk to produce what the LA Times has called a “funky, pan-Latin amalgam,” and you'll call a "heckuva good time."

The Cedar is now fully air-conditioned for your year-round comfort!
