Don’t miss Puerto Rican cuatrista, singer, educator, and Emmy-nominated composer Fabiola Méndez! Fabiola’s unique blend of influences includes folk, jazz, and Afro-Caribbean genres.

Look closer at Fabiola’s instrument—it’s not a guitar, but a Puerto Rican Cuatro. Sharing this unique instrument is one of Mendez’s missions, along with celebrating folk music and collective storytelling.

Like all AfroMundo Festival events, this opening concert is FREE, but please reserve a ticket to be sure you get a seat!
