Brand New Barefoot Books Audiobooks
Feature Amador Family's Voices and Music

Just in time for the hoidays! We're thrilled to have collaborated on two great new projects for Barefoot Books. Rosi, Brian, Sonia and Alisa voiced Lola's Fandango/El Fandango de Lola, a charming and beautifully-illustrated book by author Anna Witte, and Brian created the flamenco musical score and sound effects. Click here for a behind-the-scenes interview. Also by Anna Witte is The Parrot Tico Tango/El Loro Tico Tango, a humorous story in verse that Brian set to music and recorded with Rosi and Alisa.

Sabor y Memoria

Brian Amador's latest musical program for adults is about a favorite topic - Latin food! Performed by Sol y Canto and a string quartet, Sabor y Brian Amador Memoria (Flavor and Memory) touches on issues of memory and nostalgia for one's home country as well as immigration, agricultural sustainability, and hunger relief.

From the appetizer through dessert, the suite combines and contrasts Latin musical genres old and new in much the same way that flavors are blended in the cuisine of a new land, with rhythms from Puerto Rico, Cuba, Mexico, Argentina, Perú, Panamá and Venezuela. The singers, the Latin rhythm section, and the quartet dialog to celebrate the diversity of Latin cultures and the ways they affect each other and the dominant culture in the process of creating a new life in the U.S.

For smaller venues, we've created a new program combining live and recorded music and video with a behind-the-scenes look at the creating of Sabor y Memoria.

WBUR - Radio Boston: "You might call Rosi and Brian Amador pioneers on Boston's Latin music scene. They founded their current ensemble, Sol y Canto, in the mid-1990s and have made their mark by inviting audiences, Spanish-speaking or not, into their world of Latin music and culture.

"Last year, Amador won a coveted MacDowell Fellowship to create a new project for the group, a multi-media performance about music and food. He calls that project "Sabor y Memoria." Sol y Canto will perform its new suite this weekend and we speak to Brian and Rosi Amador about food, music and the Latin scene in Boston."
