His primary musical instruments are the accordion\, guitar\, piano\, and voice. Fermín continually works on several musical projects in the Gulf-South\, such as Merengue4-FOUR\, a musical project showcasing Dominican Music (Bachata & Merengue Típico)\, Fermín’s Latin Fusion Orchestra\, performing original salsa-inspired compositions and Fermín Acústico\, a musical concept interlacing melodies and harmonies with guitar and voice. With all his projects\, he performs original compositions based on his fusion of different sounds and musical rhythms. In 2018\, Fermín wrote YO VENGO DE TODO LADO (I Come From Everywhere) to honor and celebrate our immigrant diversity\, and the National TPS (Temporary Protective Status) Alliance adopted it as their anthem. In 2019\, he released his first book of poems in Spanish and English entitled “Pisando Mi Sombra” (Walking My Shadow). At the start of the 2020 pandemic shutdown\, Fermín began composing and self-producing his debut solo album. BOCHINCE was released in 2021 and can stream on all online platforms. The album features 14 tracks of original music. \nLeonard Jacome\nLeonard Jacome was born in Rubio\, Táchira State\, Venezuela. He is a multi-instrumentalist\, arranger\, composer\, producer\, and one of the World’s most prolific and accomplished harpists. He has won numerous awards representing Venezuela abroad and has toured and performed throughout Latin America\, the United States\, South Africa\, Europe\, Africa\, Japan\, Malaysia\, and the United Kingdom (UK). Leonard is also working to develop a contemporary identity for the South American harp. He is the creator/inventor of the Venezuelan electric harp\, with the support of Camac-Harps of France. Leonard is a Composer and arranger of musical works for the Philharmonic Orchestra and “Big Band Jazz.” \nCristina Kaminis\nChristina Kaminis is a Mexican/American singer currently living in New Orleans. Her musical style ranges in genre and languages with hints of Mexican ranchera llanto to Blues\, American Standards\, and French chansons\, as well as Brazilian sounds and rhythms (most of the band hails from Brazil). \nPatrice Fisher\nLatin jazz harpist/composer Patrice Fisher favors the music of New Orleans\, Brazil\, and Cuba\, saying that not only is the harp ‘comfortable’ harmonically with the music but that elf is drawn to the rhythmic complexities and syncopations: “that’s what makes you want to dance.” Patrice has 16 CDs of original music\, the latest being “Happy Socks.” She has performed for over 35 years at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. “An unexpected delight!” raves David Fricke of Rolling Stone Magazine. Gene Scaramuzzo of Gambit newspaper says\, “There are many sides to this local composer/harpist. It’s not unusual to see her play a classical gig in the morning and a music club at night. Strong rhythms form the undercurrent of her instrumental music with Arpa.” \nMariangel & Derik\, Liquid Rhythm Inc.\nMariangel was born in Venezuela\, and Derik was born in New Orleans. Liquid Rhythm Inc. originally began as a performance-based dance company out of New Orleansix with six core members consisting of local dancers with various dance backgrounds\, such as Hip-Hop\, House\, Modern\, Jazz\, Contemporary\, Folkloric\, and Ballet\, to name a few. LRI wanted to set itself apart from other Salsa dance companies by infusing movements each member knew from previous dance forms into the technical frameworks of the many Salsa styles they studied. Most importantly\, have FUN while doing so! LRI doesn’t believe that one style of Salsa or dance is better. They all possess unique qualities that give them such flare and appeal. \n\nAbout Ecos Latinos\nEcos Latinos is a monthly performance series featuring Hispanic musicians\, poets\, dancers\, and visual artists—both local and international—at schools\, hospitals\, libraries\, and festivals in Louisiana. Additionally\, Ecos Latinos produces professionally edited documentary videos showcasing the music of Louisiana composers. \nLearn More \n\nAdditional Credits\nThe Ecos Latinos Hispanic Heritage Celebration is produced by Musicians for Music and the New Orleans Museum of Art. \nSupport comes from South Arts\, the City of New Orleans\, New Orleans Tourism and Cultural Fund\, French Market Corporation\, New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Foundation\, the Mayor’s Office of Cultural Economy\, in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts and Louisiana Division of the Arts and the New Orleans Hispanic Heritage Foundation.

Born in San Pedro Sula\, Ríos began to study violin at the age of seven\, and he continued his musical studies at the Victor Lopez School of Music and Tiradientes College. He is a graduate of Francisco Morazon University in music. He has recorded three albums and performed as a soloist and with an orchestra around the world. Ríos currently lives in Miami\, where he directs his own Camay Orchestra and uses his classical training to arrange and compose music that expresses the culture of Honduras. \nBodoma Garifuna Group\nCarlos “Bodoma” Norales is a Garifuna singer\, drummer\, and composer who\, through his music\, connects youth with ancestral traditions. Bodoma was born in La Ceiba\, and at the age of thirteen\, he traveled to San Pedro Sula to study. He became interested in Garifuna cultural activities and began composing in the rhythms and style of Garifuna cultural traditions. In 2007\, he met Latin jazz composer Patrice Fisher\, and they started an ongoing collaboration involving Honduran\, Garifuna\, and New Orleans-based musicians. \nPatrice Fisher and Arpa\nLatin jazz harpist Patrice Fisher favors the music of Brazil and Cuba\, saying that\, not only is the harp “comfortable” harmonically with the music\, but that she herself is drawn to the rhythmic complexities and syncopations: “that’s what makes you want to dance.” Fisher is a graduate of Tulane University and the University of New Orleans. She lives in New Orleans\, where she has been composing and performing since the 1980s. She has also appeared at local and international jazz festivals with her group Arpa\, in locations such as Germany\, Brazil\, Mexico\, and Guatemala. \nMariachi Jalisco\nEl Mariachi Jalisco was started in Baton Rouge in 2010 as the first mariachi group in the state of Louisiana. Eider Martinez and other group members decided to revive the Mariachi Jalisco Havana Cuba\, a musical group that they had in their native Cuba. All the members have over ten years of experience in this genre of traditional Mexican music and are graduates of various musical conservatories. They have performed ten times at the International Mariachi Festival in Guadalajara\, and made various television appearances which have been broadcast throughout Latin America and the United States. \nMexico Y Sus Raíces\nMexico Y Sus Raíces is a Mexican folkloric dance group that shows the beauty of local dances in Jalisco\, Mexico\, through music and colorful mariachi costumes. \n\nAbout Ecos Latinos\nEcos Latinos is a monthly performance series featuring Hispanic musicians\, poets\, dancers\, and visual artists—both local and international—at schools\, hospitals\, libraries\, and festivals in Louisiana. Additionally\, Ecos Latinos produces professionally edited documentary videos showcasing the music of Louisiana composers. \nLearn More \n\nAdditional Credits\nThe Ecos Latinos Hispanic Heritage Celebration is supported by grants from Arts Council of New Orleans\, City of New Orleans\, Mayor’s Office of Cultural Economy\, Louisiana Division of the Arts\, South Arts\, New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Foundation\, National Endowment for the Arts\, and the New Orleans Tourism and Cultural Fund.

While Holst structured his suite—which premiered at the Queen’s Hall in London in 1918—around the Solar System and its Greco-Roman mythological namesakes\, Rearranging the Planets casts a broader net to consider how societies around the world have looked to the stars. In the words of planetary scientist Carl Sagan\, “We are made of star-stuff. We are a way for the cosmos to know itself.” \nFeaturing Shea Pierre; Alfred Jordan\, Jr.; Xavier Molina; Max Moran; John Maestas; Amari Ansari; Rex Gregory; and Amber Matthews. With additional credits to Francis Wong\, Camille Lenain\, Meghan Stewart\, and Amina Scott. \nPerformances take place in NOMA’s Lapis Center for the Arts on Friday\, September 9\, and Saturday\, September 10\, at 8 pm. \nTickets are $30 | $25 for members \nBuy Tickets \n  \n\n\nPerformance Credits and Performer Bios\n\n\n\n\nSteve Lands\nHailing from the city of Baton Rouge\, Louisiana\, Steve Lands has been swaying stages\, clubs\, bars\, museums\, houses-of-worship\, and studios the world over for more than a decade now. He’s got the kind of skill that can only be gained from working with great artists from all walks of life. His experience ranges from shows with R&B/gospel Grammy winner PJ Morton; doing festivals with the Preservation Hall Jazz Band; and tours through Europe with Swiss pianist and composer Florian Favre to studio sessions with the Black Keys; jamming in DC with Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters; playing in big bands with Ellis\, Jason\, Branford\, and Delfeayo Marsalis; and doing a tribute to David Bowie with Arcade Fire. Courage and care are his motivations for music and he’s got more than enough of both to give you a sonic fantasy.\n\n\n\n\nShea Pierre\nA native of New Orleans\, Louisiana\, Shea Pierre started his musical journey at the age of 4. He joined his family’s gospel group\, the Williams Sisters\, and began playing for various churches in the New Orleans area. He later attended the prestigious New Orleans Center of Creative Arts\, where he studied with Michael Pellera\, Chris Severin\, Ellis Marsalis\, and Jason Marsalis. While in high school\, he toured parts of South Africa with the Batiste Brothers Band from New Orleans. Shea is a 2014 graduate of Oberlin Conservatory of Music\, where he studied jazz piano with Dan Wall. He continues to travel and engage in different projects throughout the Midwest.\n\n\n\n\nAlfred Jordan Jr.\nBorn in New Orleans in 1993\, Alfred Jordan Jr.’s parents noticed the gift that was on their son.
