Description:
The Floyd Country Store presents Veracruz to Virginia in concert on Wednesday, April 10, 2024.

Enjoy a special night of Mexican/Appalachian inspired Mexican music featuring Virginia based Lua Project and Veracruz based Los Vega.

Organized in partnership with the Fandango de Durham festival and the Floyd Country Store, this event will highlight the relationship between Mexican and Appalachian music. The event will feature Dr. Sophia Enríquez, Andrew W. Mellon Assistant Professor of Music at Duke University, Estela Diaz Knott, founder of the LUA project and cultural organizer, and Fredi Naranjos Vega, master son jarocho musician from Veracruz, Mexico.

Combining educational lessons about the history of Mexican migration to Appalachia as well as the arrival of son jarocho to the U.S., performances from the Lua Project and Fredi Vega will explore emerging traditions of “Mexilachian” people that tie together stories of family, place, and belonging.
