As of 3/25, the concert for Mijo de la Palma has sold out.

Direct from Puerto Rico: Mijo de la Palma--one night only! The young players of Mijo de la Palma present Puerto Rican Jíbaro music and contemporary acoustic sounds direct from Puerto Rico. The artistic expression of this group shudders heartstrings!

Born out of the eclectic musical scene in the western side of Puerto Rico, Mijo de la Palma’s sound is earthy, melancholic, and intimate where the lament of the jíbaro intersects with upbeat and catchy tunes of today’s singer-songwriter and flamenco music--Fusion Jíbara!

Mijo de la Palma’s compositions, often called fusión jíbara, combine traditional Puerto Rican music, nueva trova, and flamenco, with evocative strands of acoustic rock and blues. Country-side lyrics [lírica de campo], poetry, and painting are also integral elements of their songs. Singer Melvin López Rivera’s mellifluous voice reveals deep jíbaro roots and an unruffled political stance. He is joined by the flamenco guitar of José Juan Poyatos Joyanes, Sonja Mongar on the harmonica and bass, and the poetry of René Pérez Martínez. Hailing from Puerto Rico, Spain, the United States, and Cuba, this group embodies a melting pot of hues, styles, and influences, permeating the atmosphere of their concerts with vibrant artistry, poetry, music, and candlelight.

Fusión Jíbara also provides the new generations with music intimately linked to a strong Puerto Rican identity in times of severe political turmoil in the island. More than a performance from a musical group, their shows are a creative gathering that speaks to and of a land deeply wounded and regenerating in relation to historical memory. Music from Mijo de la Palma is a reaffirmation of cultural roots.
