Javier Jara presents a very special concert and audience Q&A honoring the Latin American population in the United States. Javier and his team interviewed Latin Americans in the United States from all walks of life to create songs, using rhythms from their native lands (Lyrics by Yahir Durán; Music and string arrangements by Javier Jara). Part oral history/part roots music experimentation, we are very excited to bring this event to Amarillo.
