Artist bios
Alma Andina combines traditional instruments from South America with Latin rhythms such as cumbia, salsa, folk, guajira, Latin rock, reggae and other danceable styles. They have been playing music and performing traditional dances in the Twin Cities for more than 10 years, always evolving in their instrumentation, lineup and sound. With a diverse group of members from Chile, Mexico and the U.S., Alma Andina brings a mix of musical flavors and invites the community to feel unified and represented by the beautiful and always-evolving diversity.

Brass Solidarity is a street brass band built out of a tradition of resilience and community fortitude through music. A convergence of musicians, activists and community members as a voice for justice and an advocate for Black Lives, the band was birthed from the movement for Black Liberation in George Floyd Square and has been meeting weekly for more than five years as a continuous offering to the community. Brass Solidarity builds a broad repertoire of songs that can contribute to movement spaces and performs them at events all over the city and region.
