Argentinian Folk EP Listening party with LULITA
November 21 @ 7:00 pm - 9:30 pm
LULITA is singer and artistic director born and raised in Brooklyn, NYC. She pulls from her Argentine and Israeli roots to inspire her music and art, always finding ways to fuse her cultures and unexpected sounds together. After graduating LaGuardia High School as a vocal major, she pursued and obtained a degree in International Affairs and Global History from Lafayette College. After a year and a half of working closely with politicians and lawyers as a community organizer of housing rights in South Williamsburg, deliberating whether to follow her passion of public law or music, she ultimately decided to make the move to Buenos Aires, Argentina. In Argentina, she studied tango and folklore, constantly finding underground traditional Argentine music collectives and improvising at last minute live jam sessions throughout the city. After a year and a half abroad, she completed recording an entire Argentine folklore EP and artistically directed and produced a live show in one of Buenos Aire’s most famous underground tango halls, La Catedral. She has now returned to Brooklyn to release and debut her first ever EP and attempt to introduce today’s NYC to the beauty and melancholy sounds of Argentine folclore.
Join LULITA for a listening party for her upcoming Argentinian Folk EP. Light snacks and drinks will be served, and the EP listening will be followed by a short live performance.
