Dear friends,
I'm excited to announce that I will be singing Dominican folk music with a new ensemble, Irka Mateo & The Women of Fire, an all women percussion group playing Afro-Native folkloric rhythms. I invite you to come out to "Women Hold Half the Sky Festival."

I will be participating in two different programs: The Sweetest Song. A Capella Women Songs Around the World
Brooklyn Public Library, Stevan A. Dweck Center
10 Grand Army Plaza (Prospect Heights)
Presented by BAC in cooperation with Center for Traditional Music and Dance (CTMD).
