Sonia De Los Santos: Música

Música cheers women who make music and those who inspired Sonia (and her all-female bandmates) to become a musician—or “una música” en español. You’ll dance in and out of your seats as this playful band charts a joyful journey of Latin American rhythms ranging from festejo to cumbia to traditional Mexican folk.

In this family program, Latin GRAMMY® nominee Sonia De Los Santos will perform music from her albums, Mi Viaje: De Nuevo León to the New York Island, ¡Alegría! and Esperanza on Saturday, May 11. Called “one of the Latin Children’s music artists you should know” by Billboard, she has performed at renowned venues and festivals with her band such as Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Lollapalooza, The Getty Museum, and The National Gallery of Art.

Born in Mexico, her songs are inspired by various Latin American rhythms such as huapango, cumbia, salsa, and festejo, as well as the North American folk traditions from the U.S. Sonia has been dedicated to performing family music since 2007.
