Folk musician Irka Mateo is giving a special concert in celebration of International Women’s Day on Saturday, 8 March at 9pm at the Centro Cultural de Espana in Santo Domingo’s Colonial City (C. Arz. Merino). The concert will be a tribute to Anacaona, the Taino Indian woman who is a historical symbol of powerful women, resistance and the arts.
Irka Mateo is a talented composer who has successfully taken music from the countryside and merged it with contemporary Latin American and Caribbean rhythms to create original sounds. She will be accompanied by the Palotre band.
