NORDLYS GLOBAL VOICES SERIES - CAFFE LENA & SPAC PRESENT JOAN SORIANO

Saratoga Performing Arts Center and Caffè Lena announced a three-part concert series, Nordlys Global Voices Series, as part of a new programming collaboration featuring original and traditional musicians from non-English-speaking nations. Launched by the two beloved Saratoga venues, the series continues with bachata singer and guitarist Joan Soriano (3/16). Born in the rural countryside near Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic, Joan Soriano fashioned his first guitar from a tin can and fishing line and has never looked back. Soriano plays steel string bachata with equal parts romance and grit. The Afro-infused rhythm that permeates his music has made him a favorite among dancers and music lovers. Sorianos artistry preserves and expands on the Dominican musical tradition. He is the rare combination of new and authentic.
